I have an 02 but am amazed that the factory doesn't put a hitch on a supposed truck chassis right out of the factory. To me that makes no sense. Do you have to get the rig with a tow package to get that? My 02 doesn't have a tow package but I have a factory hitch.

Looked online and didn't see any other option for a rear hitch other than factory parts.

Any tips or trucks or other P/N I need to get this done? Thinking about hitting up a junkyard and trying to pull all of it. I would prefer an aftermarket solution but don't have one.

Thanks

Call your dealer's parts department. There is a GM accessory trailer hitch that comes with everything needed and it's all bolt-on and plug-in, no hacking up wiring like an aftermarket trailer hitch.

Something doesn't seem right here. The only SUVs without a rear hitch are the police models. Am I missing something?

I was unable to find ANY aftermarket solution. Drawtite site comes up with no parts available.

I also didn't see the hitch on the gm accessories site, a link would be greatly appreciated. I am ready to order ASAP. I have searched and other than factory parts have come up with nothing.

Maybe I will go junkyard diving.

What is your aversion to OEM parts? Price?

As others have said, I am surprised that your vehicle doesn't have a hitch already. Can you post a picture of what your rear bumper / cover looks like?

That's because our trucks already have them.

This is the cover for the hitch and wiring.

The little square cover on the right is to operate the spare tire hoist.

It looks the same I will take a pic this afternoon. I noticed lack of hitch when I installed rear 1" lift. I am not blind contrary to what some here think lol.

Will do, it was a fleet rental vehicle I purchased from Hertz used site. 2019 XL SLT 4x4. No factory hitch is there.

I guess I will run to the dealer, I had hoped someone knew of a simple one click solution to buying one.
