Question:

I have a 2016, GMC 3500HD with a grill guard. Is there a front mount trailer hitch I can purchase that will fit with the grill guard, even if I have to make some modifications? Thank you kindly

Your best bet is to go with Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31071. This does not require any trimming or modification to the front plastic fascia. In regard to interfering with your grill guard, most bull bars and grill guards mount onto the truck by using the same bolt holes as the front hitch receiver does In this case, you will have to chose between the grill guard or the front trailer hitch receiver. I have attached the installation video for this receiver.
