How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 through Class 5 hardware to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the truck can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Chevy Silverado 1500 in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this half-ton badge, then open the live CURT shelf we stock for listed Silverado 1500 years. CURT 13393 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch for two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-six Silverado 1500 trucks without a factory receiver on the live card, sharing that sheet with Sierra 1500. The hitch card rates about six thousand pounds gross trailer weight and six hundred pounds tongue weight, and it stays compatible with weight distribution at about ten thousand pounds gross and one thousand pounds tongue on the hitch card. Already have a factory receiver and want a heavier Class 5 replacement path on that same generation? CURT 15307 is the live Class 5 card for trucks with a factory receiver. Older two thousand seven through two thousand eighteen trucks often land on CURT 13301 Class 3, with CURT 13175 and CURT 14006 covering many two thousand fourteen through two thousand eighteen cards. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 13393 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path for two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-six Silverado 1500 trucks without a factory receiver on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed Sierra 1500 years. On the hitch card it rates about six thousand pounds gross and six hundred pounds tongue, with weight-distribution notes at about ten thousand and one thousand. That is honest everyday half-ton bumper-pull hardware for trailers that still respect the Chevy door sticker.
