So I have been trying to get a solid answer about this and it finally dawned on me "hey... I know where to get this question answered!" and here I am.

Question/backstory; I just got a 2020 Tahoe LT. Really falling in love with this SUV. Anywho…. I ended up getting one that doesn't have a few if the amenities I had originally wanted...
My Tahoe did not come with that shroud or cover on the back fascia / bumper which covers the tow hitch receiver... What I am trying to find out is could I buy this item from GM and will it work on my Tahoe or does the rear fascia have to be designed especially for the cover to work? Thanks for any advice...

Hi and welcome. You can order this cover, I think GM calls it a "custom molded trailer hitch closeout." There are a few different part numbers for it here (scroll down to the bottom)
Your dealer should also be able to order one for you and they would probably know the exact one you need.

I noticed when I purchased my Tahoe last year (mine did happen have one - as it was supposed to) that this cover seemed to be an optional accessory and even when a particular truck was supposed to have it, it was often missing. :-/

Congrats on your new ride, glad you're liking it!

No special rear end - its just a cover. You have some options. You can look under assesories for your vin at the chevy website (or the link from your vehicle status emails) to get part # - only difference is colors. I was actually looking at one this morning. Cheapest price will be online at gm parts site (giant, direct, etc.) or ebay. Cheapest for you would be at dealer using your 21000 gm loyalty points you got for buying truck. Have them match best price you find. Im gonna use mine for skid plates - and gm assesories are 10% off with FEB10 code right now...

Don't forget, I think there is a retainer that has to be mounted on top as well. I think it's called the "tow eye cover/bracket" this may be the part numbers -

GM1131102

It goes across the top so the actual cover has clips to hook into.
