Front Fascia Trimming for Install of Draw Tite Front Hitch 65078 on 2018 GMC SLT 2500HD Diesel
Updated 07/09/2019 | Published 07/08/2019 >
Question:
Your video shows installation on a 2500 Silverado but the grill / bumper on the Sierra is different. Do you still have the modification of trimming the front fascia? Ive have removed the chrome cover in the front bumper area and currently have a license plate for a sports team. I assume the fascia trimming will be in this area and the surrounding bumper area will not have to trimmed or cut as that would be beyond my area of expertise.

The front ends of the Silverados and Sierras like your 2018 GMC 2500 are a bit different but the fascia trimming required is the same as you can see in the two attached pictures when installing front hitch # 65078. Basically a hole gets cut through the front license plate area of either style.
