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 older years of GMC and Chevy pickup trucks (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.

Yes, CURT part number 13082 is designed for 1988–2000 Chevy/GMC 1500 (Old Style). However, if you have a crew cab, the hitch is only compatible with 1992–2000 model years. Confirm your model year and cab style before purchasing.
No. The CURT 13082 is compatible with crew cab models only from 1992 onwards. Crew cabs manufactured between 1988 and 1991 are not supported by this hitch.
The hitch weight is 60 lbs.
The manual lists two capacity ratings: 6,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 10,000 lbs trailer weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-distribution hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Consult your vehicle's owner manual for the final towing limit.
The kit includes: 8× .250 × 1.50 × 2.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP1); 2× 1/2" S-CON washers (30-00149); 2× M12 × 1.75 × 50 mm hex head cap screws, Class 10.9 (10-10458); 4× 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts, Grade 8 (10-10288); 4× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, Grade 8 (20-00062); and 2× M12 × 1.75 hex nuts, Class 10 (20-00136). Installation also uses existing frame holes and either existing weldnuts or M12 nuts with spacers.
No. The CURT 13082 requires no drilling. Installation uses all existing holes in the vehicle frame.
Yes. You must lower the spare tire before installation. After the hitch is mounted, reposition the spare tire slightly forward to clear the hitch. If you have an oversized spare tire, it may need to be relocated further.
If equipped with a factory step bumper, the rear bolt in the bottom of the frame on each side must be removed before installation. Clean away any mud and undercoating present at the mounting area.
Position the receiver against the frame so that the large cut-outs in the hangers clear rivets and cross-member bolts. Then secure the hitch using all existing holes in the vehicle frame. Hole locations may vary on different model years.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft.
All M12 fasteners must be torqued to 86 lb.-ft.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This ongoing inspection helps maintain safe towing performance.
No. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Even though the CURT 13082 has rated capacities, your vehicle's maximum towing limit takes precedence. Consult your vehicle's owner manual for the correct limit.
