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 3500 HD in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this heavy-duty three-quarter-ton-plus pickup, then open the live CURT shelf we stock for listed Silverado 3500 HD years. CURT 13447 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch for two thousand twenty through two thousand twenty-six Silverado 3500 HD on the live card, sharing that sheet with Sierra 3500 HD and the 2500 HD family. The hitch card rates about eight thousand pounds gross trailer weight and eight hundred pounds tongue weight, and it stays compatible with weight distribution at about twelve thousand pounds gross and one thousand two hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card. Prefer more bumper-pull headroom on the same late-model truck? CURT 14005 steps to Class 4 and CURT 15010 steps to a heavy Class 5 tube on that same generation. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
