Front Hitch Recommendation for Ground Clearance for 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
Updated 04/09/2018 | Published 04/06/2018
Question:
I am searching for a front received hitch for my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. It is already pretty low, so popping out under the air dam is too low. Do you offer a hitch what will extend about where the license plate cover is located? Ive spent hours looking at options and reading reviews and watching youtube videos and I have ZERO confidence that I will pick the right hitch without some insider knowledge. Can you help? thanks,

Helpful Expert Reply:
All of the front hitches we offer for your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 are going to install below the front bumper. The Curt part # C31069 will have the best ground clearance as it sits the highest and the hitch opening hangs down below the crosstube of the hitch unlike the Draw Tite.
I attached a picture that shows the Curt hitch when it's installed and the area of the air dam that gets trimmed.
