Whatever the next item is on your to-do list -- whether it's arriving at the jobsite before dawn or getting your travel trailer set up in time to see the sunset -- CURT class 4 trailer hitches offer greater towing power to let you Bring It. These custom receiver hitches are built to tackle bigger jobs and bolder adventures, all while giving you a custom fit for your vehicle. Class 4 hitches are available for a variety of makes and models, from pickup trucks and SUVs to full-size and commercial vans. This particular class 4 hitch fits certain years of the Chevy Express 1500, 2500 or 3500 and GMC Savana 1500, 2500 or 3500 (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 10,000 lbs. GTW and 1,000 lbs. TW. It can also accept a weight distributing hitch, offering a maximum WD capacity of 12,000 lbs. and a WDTW of 1,200 lbs. CURT class 4 tow hitches are as much suited for work as they are for play. With their high load capacities, they are typically used for towing larger trailers, including everything from a double-axle utility trailer or livestock trailer to a full-length camper or large boat trailer (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). All CURT class 4 receiver hitches come with a 2" receiver tube opening and all the necessary hardware for a complete installation. From light-duty to heavy-duty, every CURT custom hitch is engineered to be vehicle-specific, using actual vehicles to create the optimal design. We then combine high-strength steel, precise welding and a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and durable black powder coat to provide you with a hitch you can depend on. To prove it, we test all our hitches in accordance with SAE J684 for safety.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana 1500, 2500 and 3500 (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The Curt 14090 is designed for Chevy/GMC Van Savana/Express full-size models. Confirm your vehicle matches this description before purchasing. The manual does not specify model years, so contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer to verify fitment for your specific year and configuration.
The Curt 14090 has a gross load capacity of 10,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch, or 12,000 lbs. trailer weight and 1,200 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.
The hitch weight is 49 lbs.
The kit includes 6 carriage bolts (1/2"-13 UNC, 1-3/4" long, Grade 8, yellow zinc), 6 flange nuts (1/2"-13 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc), and 6 square hole spacers (0.250" × 1.50" × 2.00"). All fasteners are Grade 8 and yellow zinc plated.
No. The Curt 14090 uses existing frame holes and requires no drilling. The installation notes explicitly state "NO DRILLING REQUIRED."
All fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to all six 1/2" carriage bolts and flange nuts used to attach the hitch to the frame.
1. Raise the hitch into position. 2. Using existing frame slots, insert a 1/2" carriage bolt and spacer through each frame hole into the hitch. 3. Fasten using a 1/2" flange nut. 4. Torque all fasteners to 110 lb.-ft. No drilling is required; the hitch uses existing frame holes.
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 retorque interval or maintenance schedule beyond this general inspection.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The hitch itself can handle up to 10,000 lbs. (weight-carrying) or 12,000 lbs. (weight-distribution), but your vehicle may have a lower limit that must be respected.

Yes, Curt part number 55240 is designed for Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles. The harness connects to your vehicle's factory tow harness connector, which should be located behind the rear doors.
The factory tow harness connector is located behind the rear doors of your Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana. Open the rear doors and remove the jack storage cover to access it. The connector will have connection points similar to those on the tow harness you are installing.
1. Open the rear doors and remove the jack storage cover. 2. Locate the vehicle's factory tow harness connector. 3. Insert the tow harness into the vehicle's connector, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
The locking tabs are part of the connector design that secure the tow harness to the vehicle's factory connector. When you insert the harness, push it in fully until you hear or feel the locking tabs engage. This ensures a secure, reliable connection.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the connector, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle's frame. Secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided with the harness. If no suitable existing screw is available, drill a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Drilling is required only if no suitable existing grounding point (such as a screw with nut in the vehicle's frame) is available near the connector. If you must drill, make a 3/32" hole and secure the white wire using the eyelet and screw provided.
Drill a 3/32" hole for the ground wire eyelet.
Before drilling, verify that miscellaneous items hidden behind or under any surface are not in the way. Drilling into hidden components can cause damage and/or personal injury.
Route the 4-flat wire to the center of the vehicle and out the rear doors when in use. When not in use, roll up the wire and store it in an out-of-the-way location in the jack storage compartment.
The harness includes an eyelet and screw for securing the white ground wire to the vehicle's frame.
