Keep your Silverado 1500 hitch receiver clean and protected when not in use with a hitch tube cover. CURT’s hitch covers are easy to install and safeguard against dirt and debris, helping extend the life of your hitch. Plus, you can choose from a variety of sizes, colors, and styles.

In addition to our capable receiver hitches for the Silverado 1500, CURT carries a complete lineup of 5th wheel and gooseneck towing solutions, including hitches in a range of capacities, puck system kits, mutliple installation options, and loads of accessories.

1. What size hitch does a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 use?

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 typically uses a 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, which is the most common size for towing and accessory compatibility. Some models may also support 2-1/2" receivers, but always confirm your truck's specifications to ensure compatibility.

2. How much weight can a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 tow with a hitch?

The towing capacity of a Silverado 1500 depends on its model year, trim, and towing package. Some Silverado 1500s are rated to tow as much as 9,500 or even 13,300 lbs. CURT hitches are rated for up to their maximum capacity, but you must always abide by the lowest-rated component in your towing setup, including your vehicle's maximum tow rating specified in the owner’s manual.

3. Can I install a hitch on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500 myself?

Yes, CURT custom hitches are designed for a straightforward installation process. Many Silverado 1500 models have pre-drilled holes to simplify the job, requiring no drilling or significant modifications. For added guidance, CURT provides detailed installation instructions and videos. If you're unsure, professional installation is always a good option.

4. Does the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 come with a factory-installed hitch?

Some Chevy 1500 models may include a factory-installed hitch as part of a towing package, but this varies by trim level and year. If your truck doesn't have a hitch, CURT offers custom-fit options to equip your Silverado with the towing capacity you need.

5. What is the difference between a weight distribution hitch and a standard hitch for the Silverado 1500?

A standard hitch usually refers to a receiver hitch and allows you to tow trailers within your truck's capacity. A weight distribution hitch is a receiver hitch attachment that helps evenly distribute the trailer's weight across all axles of your truck and trailer. This improves handling and stability, particularly with heavier loads. It's also worth noting that many receiver hitches have a weight carrying capacity and a separate weight distribution capacity, usually higher than the weight carrying capacity. The addition of a weight distribution hitch can increase your overall towing capacity, but it doesn't change your truck's rating towing capacity, so be sure to verify. Always abide by the lowest-rated towing component.

6. Where can I buy a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 hitch locally?

CURT hitches are available through authorized retailers and installers across the country. Use the CURT store locator to find a dealer near you, or shop online and have your hitch shipped directly to your home or local installer.

7. Can I use a front mount hitch on my Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Yes, CURT offers front mount hitches for many models of the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, providing extra functionality for accessories like snow plows, winches, or front cargo carriers. Be sure to select a hitch designed specifically for your model year, if available.
