Trailer Hitch for Chevrolet Silverado: Receiver, 5th Wheel, and Gooseneck Options
The Chevrolet Silverado is a workhorse in Colorado, and we fit hitches to Silverados almost every week at Hitch Corner in Littleton. From a Silverado 1500 pulling a boat to a Silverado 3500HD pulling a 5th wheel camper, the right hitch depends on the truck and the trailer together.
Receiver hitches for the Silverado 1500
Most Silverado 1500s take a receiver hitch, usually a Class III or Class IV, for bumper-pull trailers, bike racks, and cargo carriers. We carry CURT and Draw-Tite receiver hitches built for the Silverado frame. The exact fit depends on your model year, cab, and bed, and whether your truck has the factory tow package. Call us with your year and trim and we will look it up.
Fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches for the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD
Heavy-duty Silverados are built for bed hitches. A 5th wheel hitch is the standard setup for RVs and large campers. A gooseneck hitch is the pick for flatbeds, stock trailers, and horse trailers. Many Silverado HD trucks came with the factory puck system in the bed, and we install drop-in hitches that lock right into it, including the B&W Companion 5th wheel hitch and the B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. For short bed trucks, a slider 5th wheel hitch keeps the trailer clear of the cab on tight turns.
Do not guess at towing capacity
Your Silverado's towing capacity is set by Chevrolet for your exact configuration, not by the hitch. A hitch rated for more than your truck can pull does not raise what your truck can pull. Check your owner's manual for your truck's rating, or call us with your year, make, model, and engine and we will look it up with you.
Wiring and brake controllers
A hitch is only part of the setup. Your trailer needs working lights and, on heavier trailers, its own brakes. We install trailer wiring harnesses and brake controllers, and we test every circuit before the truck leaves our shop. If your Silverado already has a factory brake controller, we check that it is set up right for your trailer. If it does not, we can add one.
