The only trailer hitch receiver we have that will work on models equipped with a class III factory trailer hitch is the TorkLift SuperHitch Hero Trailer Hitch Receiver part # TLT1300H. If you have the class IV factory trailer hitch then we would not have any trailer hitch receivers for you.

If you are unsure whether or not you have a class III or class IV factory trailer hitch then you can take a look at the safety chain loops. If they are vertical then you have a class III but if they are horizontal then you have a class IV. The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 41935 unfortunately does not fit model with the factory trailer hitch.

If you were to remove the factory trailer hitch, the aftermarket trailer hitch still would not fit as the factory trailer hitch receiver is integrated into the rear bumper and the aftermarket trailer hitch is not.
