Default C5 Trailer Hitch Info Requested

Hello & Happy Holidays Everyone,

This coming year I'm going to pull a small cargo trailer with my 2000 C5 Coupe. I'm looking for any info or comments regarding purchasing a hitch for the Corvette. If anyone has a used or new hitch for sale, any good sources to purchase one, any helpful comments be it good or bad please reply.

Thanx,
Bill
Cleveland, OH :flag

I got mine at WalMart aabout 3 years ago. It is a draw-tite, and uses existing holes in the back of the frame. :cool:

Check with Andy at A&A Corvettes, he made a custom hitch with the receiver behind the flip down license plate frame :cool:

Hi Y2K-- I have used a Dalan hitch on my C-5 for two years with excellent results. They are in boston Tel# 978-425-9585. Hitch, wiring harness and shipping was about $150.00. Install not too hard, and fits nicely up under the rear fascia of the car. Clearances are fine with stock exhaust, but might be a problem with aftermarket units with big tips. See pic below.
