When we came to the limits of towing capacity, we wanted to know what else was out there. What could we discover off the beaten path? So, we kept going. CURT class 5 Xtra Duty hitches begin a class of their own, beyond class 4 and beyond anything the standards dictate. They are designed for the hard road where only full-size pickup trucks, vans and SUVs dare to tread. They are capable of pulling almost any heavy-duty trailer, including toy haulers, dump trailers, logging trailers, small yacht trailers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). This particular Xtra Duty class 5 trailer hitch offers a gross trailer weight capacity of 17,000 lbs. and an extra-high tongue weight capacity of 2,550 lbs. It features a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount or hitch-mounted accessory, such as a cargo carrier or winch mount. It is designed to be a custom-fit trailer hitch for certain years of the Chevy Silverado 3500, 3500 HD or 3500 Classic, Dodge Ram 3500, 4500 or 5500, GMC Sierra 3500, 3500 HD or 3500 Classic and Ram 3500, 4500 or 5500 (to verify compatibility with your vehicle, see application info). For a little extra towing power and stability, this class 5 hitch can also be used in combination with a weight distributing hitch. It is rated for 17,000 lbs. WD and 2,550 lbs. WDTW. In our drive to create a more powerful hitch, CURT has not neglected the finer details. Our class 5 trailer hitches are welded with precision and go through multiple stages of cleaning to create a smooth surface that is ready to accept our co-cured finish. To protect them from corrosion, chipping and UV damage, these hitches are immersed in a liquid A-coat and then finished in a high-quality black carbide powder coat. They come with grade-8 mounting hardware for solid installation.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities

Yes. On all Dodge models, you must remove the rear-most rivet on the bottom of each frame rail. On select Chevrolet and GMC models, you must remove the rear-most rivet on the bottom of the frame rail approximately 3-1/2" from the end of the frame rails. Use a chisel and grinder to remove rivets.
On select Chevrolet and GMC models, you must remove the two rear-most fuel tank shield bolts from the frame rail and return the hardware to the owner. Support the fuel tank shield as necessary during this step. The hitch side plates will slide between the frame rail and fuel tank shield during installation.

Raise the hitch into position and place the rear edges of the horizontal flanges flush with the end of the frame rails. Clamp the hitch to the frame rail before drilling.
You have two alignment options depending on your specific model: (a) Align the 1" diameter slot with the rivet on the bottom of the frame rail on each side and clamp in place, or (b) Align the rear-most rivet removed in Step 1c with the existing holes from Step 1b and clamp in place. The hitch side plates will slide between the frame rail and fuel tank shield. Choose the option that fits your application.
You must drill or enlarge 3 holes on each side of the frame rail, for a total of 6 holes. On select GM models, this includes holes in the fuel tank shield tab. Use the hitch as a template to mark hole locations.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This helps maintain safe operation and extends the life of the hitch.
