Pick your Suburban 1500 year

Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.

Class 3 or Class 5 on a Suburban 1500?

Class 3 is the lighter one, with a 2-inch receiver and 6,000 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. Class 5 moves you to a 2-inch receiver and 16,000 lb, which is what you want for a camper, a boat or a loaded equipment trailer. Either way the Suburban 1500's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.

CURT parts for the Chevrolet Suburban 1500

Wiring, ball mount and the rest

A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55515 ($35.27 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Suburban 1500's factory connector for 2000, 2002 through 2004 and 2006 through 2007. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.

Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.

Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.

Chevrolet Suburban 1500 hitch questions

Which CURT hitch fits my Chevrolet Suburban 1500?

It depends on the year. CURT 15324 is the newest, for 2003 through 2006, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.

Can I put a bike rack on a Suburban 1500 with this hitch?

Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (2,400 lb on CURT 15324), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.

Can I install the hitch myself?

Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 15324 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.

How much can a Suburban 1500 tow with a CURT hitch?

The hitch is rated from 5,000 lb to 16,000 lb depending on the part, but the Suburban 1500's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
