Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans.

Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

Fit perfect on my 1990 K1500. All the holes lined up and all the hardware showed up with it. Perfect painted finish. I have custom dual exhaust on my truck and 2 of my hangers ended up being in the way but that’s no fault of the manufacturer I expected my pipes to be an issue. I’m ordering the same exact hitch for my other K1500.

Direct bolt on. Only problem is spare tire fitment. Hitch pushes the tire forward taking clearance from rear shock, exhaust and rear axle. Talking with Curt to resolve issue.

Perfect, good finish and clear instructions. It can be done with one person but easier with 2 cause it is a little harder to hold the hitch in place while trying to attach the nut

Mounted to a 1989 GMC c1500 std. cab, step side. Almost perfect fit up. Partially hit one bolt on the frame which caused it to sit maybe 1/8" off from the frame on one edge of the hitch. Didn't worry me so continued to install. Looks great and is definitely "hidden". Have used it multiple times and holds up great.

I bought this hitch so I could haul a uhaul trailer when I moved and didn't end up needing it but the hitch is very nice. The paint is so nice and it is well built. The install was a real breeze to install, just a few bolts and it's installed. Great hitch that is a snap to install on my GMC pickup. Great deal that included free shipping (and it is heavy)
