Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Chevy Silverado 2500, C1500, C2500, C3500 or C3500HD and GMC Sierra 2500, C1500, C2500, C3500 or C3500HD (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 600 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 10,000 lbs. WD and 1,000 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

The manual lists gross load capacity values for both weight-carrying and weight-distribution modes, but the specific numbers are not filled in on this manual page. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings. You must also not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes. You must lower and remove the spare tire from its storage location before beginning installation. This provides more room for easier hitch installation. Reinstall the spare tire after the hitch is fully installed.
No. The manual explicitly states 'NO DRILLING REQUIRED'. The hitch uses existing slots and holes in the truck frame.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 bolts (part 10-10288); 6× 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP1); 4× 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062); 2× 1/2" S-con washers (part 30-00149); 2× M12×1.75 class 10 hex nuts (part 20-00136); and 2× M12×1.75×50 class 10.9 hex cap screws (part 10-10458).
All 1/2-inch fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 79 ft-lbs.
Position the hitch assembly up against the bottom of the truck side frame so that the rearmost hole in each hitch frame bracket is aligned with the slots in the end of the vehicle frame.
Bolt the hitch assembly to the truck frame at the center attachment point using the existing hole in each side frame. Use the spacers (CM-SP1) and M12×1.75 hex nuts at the frame slots, and the 1/2-inch bolts at the center attachment point.
After installation, reinstall the spare tire. Periodically check that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps ensure safe operation.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch has its own load ratings, but you must comply with the lower of the two limits.
