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 C1500 or K1500 and GMC C1500 or K1500 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 800 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.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)

The manual notes that not all models will have the same spare tire configuration, so check your specific truck.
Yes. Prior to installation, remove the ground wire that is bolted to the bottom of the driver side frame rail. After the hitch is installed, relocate this ground wire to the .281" square hole in the frame bracket using the 1/4-20 carriage bolt and nylon lock nut provided in the kit. Note that some vehicles may not have the ground wire located in this position.
No. The install notes state that no drilling is required. However, roll pan modification is required. The roll pan must be cut in the license plate area to provide access for the drawbar installation.
The roll pan requires cutting in the license plate area to provide access for the drawbar. The manual notes that the license plate must be repositioned when the drawbar is installed. You must obtain vehicle owner approval before beginning the installation.
You will need: a ratchet, one extension, sockets in 7/16", 3/4", and 21mm sizes, and a torque wrench. These tools are necessary to fasten the hitch to the frame and achieve the correct torque specifications.
The kit includes: 6 bolts (1/2-13 UNC, 1-3/4", grade 8, yellow zinc, part 10-10272); 4 spacers (.250 x 1.50 x 2.00" square hole, part CM-SP1); 2 spacers (.250 x 1.00 x 2.00" square hole, part CM-SP12); 1 carriage bolt (part 10-10509); 1 nylon lock hex nut (part 20-00148); and 6 serrated flange nuts (1/2-13 UNC, grade 8, yellow zinc, part 20-00062).
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb. ft.

Torque all 1/2-13 fasteners to 110 lb. ft. and all 1/4-20 fasteners to 12 lb. ft. 4. Cut the roll pan in the license plate area for drawbar access. 5.

Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. While Curt part number 13942 has its own load ratings, your vehicle's manufacturer specifications take precedence. Consult your vehicle owner's manual for the maximum towing capacity for your specific 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC 1500.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a maintenance interval, so perform this check regularly, especially before towing.
The hitch weight specification is listed in the manual but the value is blank in the document provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for the exact hitch weight.
