Today we're going to be taking a look at the best front hitch options for you 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. Up top we've got the Curt, part number C31071. Then on the bottom we got the Draw Tite, part number 65068. The biggest difference that we're going to see between these two hitches is going to be when mounted on the truck where the receiver tube is going to be located. On the Draw Tite, it's going to give us a higher ground clearance, and it's going to come further out towards the front of the bumper, so it's going to give us more clearance with our accessories away from that front bumper. We've got a Curt mounted on this truck here and as you can see it comes out nicely underneath the fascia to where it's tucked up tight. The Draw Tite would come out up here right about the center of the license plate bracket, and so if you do have a license plate on the front of your truck, it would need to be relocated. There are a couple of different options. You can get the Draw Tite fixed bracket, part number 5443, or the Draw Tite fold down license plate bracket, part number 8802. There's going to be benefits to each hitch, because of where they come out, and the clearance that they give us depending on the accessories that you're going to be using.

For example with the Curt, it's going to be good for use with things like hitch mounted snow plows. The Draw Tite might be better for things like cargo carriers or winches to give you that extra ground clearance. The next difference that we're going to see, is that the Draw Tite has this extra half inch hole, and that's going to be good for use with a J pin stabilization system, which helps to eliminate some of the shake and play inside the receiver tube with the shank. Both of these hitches are going to feature a five hundred pound vertical limit, which is going to be the tongue weight rating. They're also both going to feature a five thousand pound gross trailer weight rating and a nine thousand pound max winch line pull. You will want to be sure to check to see that the front axle of your truck is rated for that type of weight. For a brief recap, both of these hitches are going to feature the same weight ratings. When it comes to clearance, the Draw Tite is going to give us a little bit more ground and bumper clearance.

When it comes to use with a trailer, both of these hitches are going to do really well. For recreational use, both of these hitches will work very well depending on your accessory. If I was to buy one of these for my truck, I would lean towards the Draw Tite, because it does give me more clearance, and that way I don't run the risk of possibly getting this dug into the mud when I need more clearance underneath the truck. We hope this helps in the decision making process for a front hitch for your Chevrolet Silverado 2500. .
