B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for durable, innovative towing products, including gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, and ball mounts. Built in Kansas by employee-owners, B&W products are engineered for dependable performance, easy installation, and long-lasting quality.
B&W Trailer Hitches is an American manufacturer known for building innovative, dependable towing products designed to make hitching easier and towing more comfortable. The company began in 1987 in Humboldt, Kansas, when founders Roger Baker and Joe Works combined their fabrication experience to build custom truck beds and solve common problems faced by truck owners.
B&W changed the gooseneck hitch industry with the introduction of the Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch. Its under-bed mounting system and reversible hitch ball allowed truck owners to quickly store the ball beneath the bed, leaving a clean and unobstructed surface when the hitch was not in use. B&W later applied the same practical approach to the Companion Fifth Wheel Hitch, creating a removable fifth-wheel hitch engineered for a quiet, smooth, and secure towing experience.
Today, B&W manufactures gooseneck hitches, fifth-wheel hitches, receiver hitches, ball mounts, and towing accessories at its nearly 600,000-square-foot facility. The company is owned by approximately 500 employee-owners who remain committed to American manufacturing, trusted materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-lasting product quality.
Whether you are towing a work trailer, livestock trailer, camper, or fifth wheel, B&W Trailer Hitches offers thoughtfully engineered towing equipment built to perform mile after mile.

Call 888-634-9494Equip your vehicle for towing and hitch-mounted accessories with a dependable CURT 2" trailer hitch. Designed for a vehicle-specific fit, CURT receiver hitches provide a strong and secure connection point for towing trailers, carrying bikes, transporting cargo and using other compatible 2-inch hitch accessories.
Our selection of CURT 2-inch receiver hitches includes options for trucks, SUVs, crossovers, vans and passenger vehicles. Each hitch is engineered to match specific vehicle mounting points, helping provide a clean installation and dependable performance. Depending on the vehicle application, available options may include Class 3, Class 4 and heavy-duty receiver hitches with different gross trailer weight and tongue weight capacities.
A 2" x 2" receiver opening is one of the most common hitch sizes and works with a wide range of towing accessories, including ball mounts, bike racks, cargo carriers, hitch steps and tow hooks. When towing a trailer, you may also need a properly rated trailer ball, hitch pin, wiring harness, brake controller or weight distribution system.
CURT trailer hitches feature a durable black finish designed to help protect against rust, scratches and exposure to road conditions. Many models install using existing holes in the vehicle frame, although drilling, trimming or temporary removal of vehicle components may be required for certain applications.
Use our vehicle fitment tools to find the correct CURT 2" trailer hitch for your year, make and model. Always compare the hitch rating with your vehicle’s towing capacity and the ratings of every component in your towing setup. The maximum towing capacity is determined by the lowest-rated component.

The HDRH25601 is designed for 2011–2019 Chevrolet & GMC 2500 & 3500 Heavy Duty Short Bed Trucks with Factory Bumper. Your vehicle must be in original, as-manufactured condition. If your truck has replacement parts, aftermarket modifications, or a non-factory bumper, compatibility is not guaranteed. Inspect your vehicle for any modifications before purchasing.
No. The HDRH25601 is designed specifically for Short Bed trucks. It is not compatible with long bed models.
The HDRH25601 is designed for vehicles with a factory bumper. Compatibility with replacement or aftermarket bumpers is not guaranteed. The manual states that the product was designed to fit vehicles in their original, as-manufactured condition, and compatibility with vehicles having replacement parts is not guaranteed. Inspect your vehicle before installation.
You will need: an impact wrench or ratchet with 3/4" and 21mm sockets; a 3/4" box end wrench; a torque wrench capable of tightening to 80 ft-lbs; eye and ear protection; and optionally a flat head screwdriver. A torque wrench is essential because fasteners must be torqued to specific values during installation.
The kit includes: 1 hitch center section, 2 side plates (driver and passenger), 4 bolts of 1/2" × 2" hex head cap screw, 8 bolts of 1/2" × 1–1/2" hex head cap screw, 12 nuts of 1/2" hex finish, 12 split lock washers of 1/2", 4 spacers of 3/16" × 1 × 1–1/2", and 4 spacers of 3/16" × 1–1/4" × 1–1/2". The installation also reuses the existing 14mm bolts from the truck frame.
Spare tire removal may be required depending on your truck model. The manual states that some truck models will require the removal of the spare tire to provide easier access to the frame during installation. Check your specific vehicle's installation area for obstructions before beginning. If removal is needed, the spare tire can be reinstalled after the hitch is mounted, though some models may require the spare tire to be pushed toward the cab while being raised into position to allow clearance for the receiver hitch.
The side plates of the hitch must mount against the bottom of the frame. Any brackets or accessories not critical to the vehicle structure that are mounted to the bottom of the frame in the installation area may need to be removed. This includes bumper reinforcement brackets, which can be removed if the bumper will not be used for towing. Check the installation area before beginning work to identify any interference.
1. Assemble the hitch by attaching the driver and passenger side plates to the hitch center section using the 1/2" × 1–1/2" bolts, lock washers, and nuts. Position the side plate ears toward the outside as shown in the diagram. Do not fully tighten at this stage. 2. Position the assembled hitch under the frame and align the slots in the rear side plate ears with the holes where the existing 14mm bolts were located. 3. Reinstall the 14mm bolts to secure the hitch. 4. Install the remaining hardware with spacers in their proper locations. 5. Tighten all fasteners in the correct sequence and to the specified torque values.
Maneuver the hitch under the frame and align the slots in the rearmost side plate ears with the holes where the 14mm bolts were previously located. Make sure the hitch is centered between the frame rails of the vehicle and that the receiver tube is parallel to the centerline of the truck. Secure it in place by reinstalling the 14mm bolts before installing additional hardware.
All 1/2" bolts connecting the frame to the side plates and the side plate mounting brackets to the center section must be torqued to 80 foot pounds.
The existing 14mm bolts from the truck frame that secure the hitch must be torqued to 135 foot pounds.
Tighten in this sequence: 1. First, tighten the hardware on the connections between the frame and the side plates. Torque the 1/2" bolts to 80 foot pounds and the 14mm bolts to 135 foot pounds. 2. Next, ensure the edges of the side plate mounting brackets on the center section match up with the bottom and rearward edges of the side plates, and tighten these connections. Torque these bolts to 80 foot pounds as well.
No. When assembling the side plates to the hitch center section using the 1/2" × 1–1/2" bolts, lock washers, and nuts, do not fully tighten the hardware at this stage. Wait until the hitch is positioned under the frame and all hardware is installed before tightening to the final torque specifications.
The existing 14mm bolts from the rear of the truck frame are removed and then reinstalled to secure the hitch. These bolts pass through the slots in the rearmost side plate ears and must be torqued to 135 foot pounds.
The manual includes a diagram showing the proper location of each spacer. There are two types: 3/16" × 1 × 1–1/2" spacers (4 total) and 3/16" × 1–1/4" × 1–1/2" spacers (4 total). Refer to the main assembly diagram on page 1 to identify the exact placement of each spacer type. Each spacer must be placed in its proper location as shown on the diagram.
No. Do not modify this product in any manner. Doing so could alter its integrity and lead to a loss of attachment between the trailer and the tow vehicle.
Always use safety chains while towing. Crossing the safety chains under the tongue of the trailer may prevent some damage to the trailer if detachment occurs. Do not exceed the tow or tongue rating of the coupler, hitch, truck, or trailer. Consult your vehicle and trailer manufacturer information for ratings. When towing a wedge car trailer, maintain a low center of gravity by loading heavy cars over the axles, never tow with a single car on the front of the trailer, and never exceed speeds that are reasonable for roadway conditions. Failure to follow these practices may cause damage to the truck, trailer, towing components, or loss of attachment.
After installation, verify that the hitch is centered between the frame rails and that the receiver tube is parallel to the centerline of the truck. Ensure all fasteners are tightened to the correct torque specifications: 1/2" bolts to 80 foot pounds and 14mm bolts to 135 foot pounds. Periodically inspect the hitch afterward, making sure that all fasteners remain tightly secured.
Periodically inspect the hitch, making sure that all fasteners are tightly secured. The manual does not specify an exact inspection interval, but regular checks are essential to ensure safe towing.
The manual does not specify the towing capacity. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's information and the trailer manufacturer's owner's manual for towing and tongue weight ratings. Do not exceed the tow or tongue rating of the coupler, hitch, truck, or trailer.

Yes, a compatible bike rack, cargo carrier or other accessory with a 2" x 2" shank can generally be used. Make sure the accessory does not exceed the hitch’s tongue weight rating, the vehicle’s limits or the accessory manufacturer’s capacity. Account for the combined weight of the carrier and everything loaded onto it.
