Distance from front of receiver hitch to center of hitch pin hole


Recommended Posts

I have a 2020 Silverado 2500HD being delivered to me on Friday and I'm going to need to tow with it almost immediately. I just had an epiphany that my 2" hitches are not going to work with the 2.5" receiver on an HD and I need to purchase a reducer sleeve before my truck arrives. I'd prefer one of the sleeves with the flange on the front so it is not free-sliding in the receiver (particularly when trying to wrangle my weight distribution hitch into place while getting all 3/6 holes aligned). That said, does anyone know the distance from the front face of the receiver hitch to the center of the hitch pin hole, or would someone mind kindly measuring theirs for me? That way I can hopefully find a sleeve with both the flange and correct spacing. 

 

Thank you

I'm buying a used truck that's coming from out of state and need to tow with it the following day, so I don't want to bank on that still being with the vehicle. I'd rather have to return one if it is.

The reducing sleeve is included.

I have a new 2021 2500HD but did not receive a reducing sleeve - that I am aware of anyway.  I bought an aftermarket one, but yes it's a PITA lining up 6 holes - lol...

 

Unless it is hidden on the truck somewhere.  Any hints, fellas?

Yes it was in the glove box! As soon as I saw your reply on 4/20 on my phone I looked and found it there.  Never figured the glove box was big enough to hide it.  It was under all the manuals and original window sticker.  Thanks all!
