Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chevrolet Venture in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit, then open the live CURT Class 3 shelf we stock for listed Venture years. CURT 13344 is the in-stock two inch receiver card on the GM U-body minivan shelf. Ratings on that card sit around four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight, with a weight-distribution note around six thousand pounds when you run a proper weight-distribution setup. Door sticker first. Hitch second.

Watch on YouTubeWhat the live CURT Venture card actually covers
CURT 13344 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed two thousand one era through two thousand five Chevrolet Venture years on the live card title path, with the fitment sheet also spanning the wider ninety seven through two thousand five Venture window. The same shelf also lists later Uplander, Montana, and Terraza years plus Silhouette and Trans Sport siblings. Keep badge-honest shopping when the van in the bay is not a Venture.
On the live card the hitch is rated to about four thousand pounds gross trailer weight and four hundred pounds tongue weight, with a weight-distribution note around six thousand pounds and six hundred pounds tongue when you run a proper weight-distribution setup. Many Venture owners tow a small camper, a utility trailer, or just want a rack. Read the Chevrolet door sticker first. The hitch cannot raise that limit.

How to shop without getting lost
Step 1Read the door sticker
Find the Chevrolet tow and tongue numbers for your engine and axle. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Step 2Open CURT 13344
Confirm your Venture year is still listed on the live card before you order.
Step 3Plan lights honestly
No dedicated Venture harness is live on this shelf today. Confirm a wiring path, then see the wiring guide.
Step 4Match accessories
Two inch cover and pin, ball mount height, then a first-tow walk-around.
Receiver

Wiring
Confirm-first lights
We do not stock a dedicated Venture trailer wiring harness on this store today. Plan lights after the hitch with a confirmed path, not a guess.
- See the wiring harness guide
- Ask before inventing a plug
- Test lights before the first Canadian night tow
Year pages that already exist
These Venture year landers are already live. We do not invent missing years here. Use the live hitch card if your van falls in a gap.
- 1999 Chevrolet Venture hitch
- 2000 Chevrolet Venture hitch
- 2001 Chevrolet Venture hitch
- 2002 Chevrolet Venture hitch
- 2004 Chevrolet Venture hitch
- 2005 Chevrolet Venture hitch
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists your year before you order. A missing year lander is not a fitment promise.
Accessories that match the receiver
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. Ball mounts must match that opening.
