Perfect Fit for My Chevy 2500!
he CURT 13040 Class 3 Trailer Hitch was exactly what I needed for my Chevrolet 2500. It was easy to install and has performed flawlessly. The 2-inch receiver is robust and reliable, making it perfect for towing on our road trip to Laughlin. The hitch feels solid and well-built, and it has handled all our hauling needs without any issues. It’s a great addition to my truck and has made towing a breeze. If you’re looking for a high-quality trailer hitch for your Chevy 2500, this one is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend it!

Good fit for Chevy Express 3500 short bus
Haven't used it yet, so this review is just based on installation. Fit nicely on my Chevy Express 3500 short school bus. So if you are doing a skoolie conversion on a similar vehicle, this would be a good option for a hitch receiver! I installed it by myself (with some guidance from someone more experienced). I used a jack to hold it in place to mark the holes needed. Alas, none of the already-existing holes lined up...I had to drill all six, making sure to use a good 1/2 inch drill bit rated for metal. But I also used the jack for that, to apply pressure to the drill as it drilled up into the frame. Didn't require much muscle, just a bit of awkward maneuvering as I had to use my foot to leverage the jack while I held the drill in place. Used the jack again to line it back up and add the bolts, tightening to torque as per the instructions. Overall, it really wasn't hard, definitely a pain though. And worth it, because now I can add a bike or motorcycle rack, or tow a vehicle, whatever I need! Was very pleased that it fit nicely with my vehicle, as Amazon stated it would. I'll update if I encounter any issues with it in use, but I do not expect any issues. It's on there solid, and my guide on the project gave the thumb's up as well.

Awesome Hitch and Great Packaging
I was a little nervous after reading about shipping concerns. There were no problems here. The hitch receiver was shipped in a thick box and it arrived in perfect condition. I was out camping but the kind UPS delivery person even helped my elderly but fiesty Dad carry it in the house... Installation was quick and easy. I would estimate not even fifteen minutes of work - more like ten minutes - were required. It took me longer to run to the auto parts store to borrow a torque wrench. The hardware seems plenty strong. The nuts that were included have ridges to act like lock washers. All of the holes lined up tightly and accurately. It was so easy to install that I forgot to look at the directions! They were not even needed. This is a quality hitch receiver and the price was excellent. Curt is a great brand and Amazon has unbeatable prices. I simply couldn't be any happier!

Great Value, Well Constructed, American Made!....Make Sure You Have Your Torque Wrench Handy.
This was a perfect fit for our 2003 Chevrolet Express 2500 van (8600 lb GVWR) using the factory bolt hold on the frame. It is a little heavy so you'll want a helper when installing to start the nuts while you hold the hitch steady....once you get one nut hand tight on each side your helper can just supervise the rest of your work. Does not interfere with spare tire. Easily a do-it-yourself install however take note- if you do not have access to a torque wrench that is rated for 110 ft-lbs and the know-how to properly use it, find someone who does. I don't want to be behind you on the interstate when your hitch drops off at 70 MPH. Seriously, manufacturers publish torque specs for a reason. Ordered it on a Saturday afternoon and had it Monday afternoon with free Prime shipping......I am always amazed at Amazon's logistics.

You may have to drill new holes for your installation.
Great product. The only problem I had was it was to fit on frame holes that were already there but was not the case. Had to drill 2 new holes. Other than that I would recommend this product.

Excellent product!
Excellent product, well made and easy to install in five minutes by myself. The Amazon delivery box was a little sketchy and arrived open, but the way they attached the hardware to the hitch everything stayed in place and nothing was missing and no scratches on the hitch. Highly recommend!

It fit but a couple bolts were tight requiring tourqing of the the hitch a little to get the bolts started.

Great hitch, I put various loads on it no issues. I live in canada where we use salt on our roads in winter. Normally makes things rusty. So far no rust. The paint on the hitch seems thick and durable.
