A CURT front trailer hitch allows you to use the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, a number of towing accessories and can even be used for some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front tow hitch are the CURT winch mount, step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount, skid shield and tow hooks. All CURT front trailer hitches provide a useful receiver tube to accept a 2" x 2" shank, and they are commonly used on trucks, vans and SUVs. This front trailer hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It also has a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. It is designed to be a custom trailer hitch for certain years of the Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

The CURT 31069 has a gross load capacity of 9,000 lbs maximum when used as a straight line pull. For weight-carrying use, the manual specifies 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight minimum. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower than the hitch rating.
The minimum tongue weight is 500 lbs. The hitch itself weighs 45 lbs. Always verify your vehicle manufacturer's towing capacity, as it may impose lower limits than the hitch rating.
The CURT 31069 weighs 45 lbs.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill four 17/32" diameter holes in the frame rails to mount the hitch. The holes are marked using the hitch as a template and a center punch before drilling.
Fascia trimming or removal is required for most models, excluding LT models. You must determine if trimming is needed by raising the hitch into position first. If needed, mark and trim the lower fascia or remove it completely and return it to the owner. Always check for proper fit prior to trimming.
Required tools are: power drill with 17/32" drill bit, center punch, torque wrench, 3/4" socket, ratchet, and aviation shears. Proper tools will greatly improve installation quality and reduce installation time.
The kit includes: 6 × 1/2-13 UNC 1-3/4" grade 8 carriage bolts (part 10-10272), 6 × 1/2-13 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (part 20-00062), 6 × 0.250 × 1.00 × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6), and 2 × 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE). Note: the parts list shows 6 bolts and 6 nuts, but only 4 holes are drilled; confirm quantity with the manufacturer if unclear.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having assistance available, though it does not state that a second person is absolutely mandatory.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection. This is a mechanical hitch installation with no electrical components, so battery disconnection is not required.
Professional installation takes approximately 37 minutes. Novice (DIY) installation takes approximately 90 minutes. Actual time may vary depending on experience and vehicle condition.
Safety glasses should be worn at all times while installing this product.
All 1/2" fasteners must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. This applies to the 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts and flange nuts that secure the hitch to the frame rails.
1. Raise the hitch into position and determine if fascia trimming is needed; trim or remove lower fascia if required. 2. Raise hitch and align the access hole with the forward-most hole in the hitch. 3. Mark the four drill holes in each frame rail using the hitch as a template and a center punch. 4. Lower the hitch and drill the four 17/32" holes. 5. Use fishwire to thread the 1/2-13 × 1-3/4" carriage bolts and SP6 spacers through the drilled holes. 6. Reverse fishwire the bolts and spacers into the access holes. 7. Raise the hitch and secure with 1/2-13 flange nuts. 8. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs.
Fishwire is a flexible wire tool used to route the carriage bolts and spacers through the frame rail holes. Two 1/2" fishwires are included. In step 5, you thread the bolts and spacers through the drilled holes using fishwire. In step 6, you reverse fishwire them into the access holes in the hitch. The manual includes fishwire and reverse fishwire diagrams to illustrate the process.
The four drill holes in the frame rails must be 17/32" in diameter. The holes are spaced 3.00 inches apart horizontally and 1.50 inches apart vertically, though the manual notes these dimensions are approximate and you should confirm fit prior to trimming.
After installation, verify that the hitch is installed properly and that all fasteners are tight. The manual emphasizes that you should periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners remain tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is important for safe towing.
The manual recommends periodically checking the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. No specific interval is stated, but regular inspection before towing is prudent.
The gross load capacity when used as a straight line pull is 9,000 lbs maximum. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Additionally, when using the hitch for winching or recovery, the winch cable must not exceed a 15-degree angle up or down from horizontal, or a 45-degree angle left or right from straight ahead.
The CURT 31069 can be used for recovery and winching, but you must follow strict guidelines. Use only OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment—never use a ball or ball mount as an anchor point, as this could result in severe personal injury or death. The winch cable must not exceed a 15-degree angle up or down from horizontal, or a 45-degree angle left or right from straight ahead. Do not attach the return cable to the winch mount; attach it to the tow hook or recovery eye instead. Observe all winch manufacturer recommendations and warnings.
The front axle GAWR is the maximum weight the front axle can safely carry. You must not exceed this rating when using front-mounted accessories. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and/or suspension, which could result in accident, property damage, and personal injury. Consult your vehicle's owner's manual or the specification plate on the driver's door frame to find your GAWR. Measure gross front axle weight by placing the front wheels of your loaded vehicle on a scale.
Before towing, verify that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. Ensure the hitch is installed properly. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Check that the front-mounted license plate is not obstructed, vehicle lights are not blocked, and air flow into the grille is not restricted. Be aware that rear wheel traction may be reduced, which could affect handling, so reduce speed and drive with caution. The hitch extends the front of the vehicle, which may reduce approach angle, so use caution when parking and maneuvering.
Yes, the CURT 31069 is designed for 2014-Current Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks.
You need a power drill with 17/32" bit, center punch, torque wrench, 3/4" socket, ratchet, and aviation shears. Two people may be required.
Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs.
The hitch has a 9,000 lbs maximum straight line pull capacity, with 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight minimum. Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
First, verify that you have raised the hitch into position correctly and aligned the access hole with the forward-most hole in the hitch (step 2). If alignment is still incorrect, lower the hitch and check that the frame rails are not bent or damaged. Ensure the vehicle is on level ground and properly supported. If the hitch still does not align, contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 877-287-8634 for assistance.
Verify that you have drilled the correct 17/32" diameter holes in the correct locations marked with the center punch. If the holes are too small, the bolts will not fit. If the holes are correct, ensure the fishwire is properly threaded through the holes and that the carriage bolts and spacers are aligned correctly before pulling. If bolts still will not thread, the holes may be obstructed; clear any debris or burrs from drilling.
Re-torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft-lbs using a torque wrench and 3/4" socket. The manual emphasizes that you should periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. If fasteners repeatedly loosen, there may be vibration or movement during towing; contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 877-287-8634.
The manual states that you must not obstruct vehicle lights and must reposition the front-mounted license plate if obstructed. If the hitch is blocking lights, verify that the hitch is installed in the correct position and that all fasteners are tight. If the license plate is obstructed, reposition it so it is clearly visible. If repositioning is not possible, contact CURT Manufacturing technical support at 877-287-8634 for guidance.
