How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 5 to the Savana door sticker and the live 15320 rating before you shop a heavier trailer.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a GMC Savana in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit and whether the van is a cutaway. The live CURT 15320 Class 5 card covers listed Express and Savana years on a two inch receiver when the vehicle is not a cutaway, with about sixteen thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two thousand four hundred pounds tongue weight on the hitch card. That is a serious hitch rating. The van sticker still wins if it is lower.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 15320 is a Class 5 hitch with a two inch receiver. On the live card it is rated to about sixteen thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two thousand four hundred pounds tongue weight, and it notes weight-distribution compatibility at about seventeen thousand pounds with two thousand four hundred pounds tongue weight when you run a proper weight-distribution setup. Those numbers are hitch ratings, not a promise that every Savana trim can tow that much.
Fitment on the live card includes listed Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana years while calling out cutaway exclusions. Keep the badge honest. If the fender says Express, open that guide instead of forcing a Savana shopping path. Always confirm the live card still excludes cutaways the way your van is built.
