Recovery hooks on 2021 LT

[TooManyKids]

Yeah, I know, if I wanted front recovery hooks, I should have gotten a Z71. But wife nixed that.

Anyone know if you can install recovery hooks on the front of a non-Z71 model? Looks like there are little panels where the hooks would go. I assume they are removable? And where I can buy some, if you can install hooks? Thanks!

I don't know about the 21's but depending on the trim level there could be sensors in the frame slot's where the hooks would normally go

@915_Tahoe might know. If not you might call the dealer and ask.

Provide me with the last 8 of your vin#, and I'll let you know first thing in the morning

915_Tahoe, I don't have the VIN yet. Thanks for the offer--will post it when I do. Looks like build date middle of the month.

I'd like to know as well on my Denali MR180303

Tow hooks and fogs would require a new piece of trim down there. Pretty sure that we shouldn’t hold our breath for GM as these differences are intentional and an oem part would only cannibalize sales of the AT4 and z71. Not going to happen this early.

We need to start seeing aftermarket stuff for these trucks. I have had other vehicles where in the forums the aftermarket guys would gauge interest for fabricating shit and setup group buys.

My list so far if anybody is listening.
1. Fog lights (in front fascia or elongated ones in the air vents like Cadillac.
2. Led taillights or bulbs that work with GM canbus
3. Performance exhaust for 6.2 with the valves to eliminate drone.
4. Tow hooks
5. Thule cross bars with lower profile than OEM.
6. Mud-flaps that work with power steps.

Hi 915_Tahoe. Just got a 2021 Suburban. Last 8 MR163536. Can you tell if there are Recovery Hooks and new trim with access to install? I have a small access cover on Driver’s side that opens to frame. None on passenger side. THX

Red hook gm#84338714
Nut x4 gm#11549169
Bolt x2 gm#11589273
Bolt x2 gm#11610915

I don't see replacement panel for the tow hooks. Only option is doing the Z71 bumper or just cutting the existing panel out on the other side.

Thank you. Any idea what the LT front bumper trim access panel is for? Is there any type of accessory or tool that a tow truck driver can plug in to pull vehicle out of ditch, etc.?

One side of the trim panel is used to conceal the adaptive cruise control module

on you tube there is an outfitter that installed an aftermarket push bar and brush guard on a 21 tahoe

Looks like this ls has tow hooks

That’s a z71 front end. They probably build this for oversees due to the roads being a little harsher in some areas.

As long as you don’t have the active cruise control on the LT z71 tow hooks will fit. Just removed my lower clip today and checked fitment. Fits perfect but they don’t come out very far.


I’ve ordered some Silverado aftermarket tow hooks as they look similar. They’ll be here this afternoon and I’ll post if they fit. The regular tow hooks look identical.

Interesting. How hard is it to remove the lower clip??

Trying to be gentle it took a few hours. It may have been faster to just take off the entire front bumper but I didn’t want to do that. I think it was totally worth it. I’m gonna do a custom front prerunner winch bumper in its place just the trapezoid section with a skid plate going down to the lower control arms.

Also! Silverado tow hooks fit Tahoe!
Had to drill one hole but I think that was a manufacturer defect.

my friend just got a 23 RST. He is jealous of my tow hooks. I’m jealous of his ACC. Does it look like he is out of luck for tow hooks? How would a tow truck or Good Samaritan pull him out of a snow bank ? ( He goes to Vermont a lot).
