Is the steel step bumper you have installed the factory bumper on your 2012 GMC Savana KUV Van?

Thanks so much for that picture. While we do not have any customized fits for your 2012 GMC Savana KUV van, the best bet would be a universal hitch like the 3" drop # 15901 or 9" drop # C47CR. These hitches are specifically designed for service/utility vehicles and have adjustable brackets than can be adjusted from 18 - 44 inches to fit your vehicle's frame. In order to make sure it is compatible with your van's frame, I recommend measuring the frame from left-to-right. Also, it is a good idea to measure the clearance between the frame and bumper to see if you need a drop on the hitch receiver.

Yes! For a great 2-inch model that doesn't have as much weight capacity, I recommend the Class V Universal Weld-on Receiver Hitch # 15903. This hitch only has a 15k towing capacity and a 1,500 pound tongue weight capacity.
