Is There a Class V Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2002 GMC Yukon XL 2500? ?

Question:

I have a 2002 yukon xl 2500 body. I am looking for a heavy duty class 5 hitch, Ive been told the 1500 Sierra shares the same frame, can you confirm if this is correct?

Looking online it appears the frame used on your 2002 GMC Yukon XL 2500 was also used on the Suburban 2500 and Avalanche 2500 for the model year. I do see a Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver available in a Class IV # 14080 rating but there is not a class V custom fit receiver for any of these models. Do note since we have not confirmed the fit of this receiver on Yukon XL 2500 you may be best going with a Universal Class V Receiver # 15901. While this will require welding onto your frame you will get the Class V rating you are wanting.
