Question:

Does the air dam need to be trimmed or cut for the 2inch front hitch to be mounted to my truck? Does the skid plate need to be removed as well?

When installing The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31074 onto your 2022 Chevy Colorado Z71 per the instructions you will need to determine if trimming is required on vehicle by raising hitch into position. If needed, mark and trim lower fascia, as shown below or remove lower fascia and return to owner. Make sure to check for proper fit prior to trimming. You will then have to remove the skid plate and is optional to trim a 1/2 inch from edge and replace later see picture below.

The front mount hitch has an easy, bolt-on installation with no welding required. It has a gloss black powder coated finish that is over the steel that helps it resist corrosion. The hitch has a line pull up to 9,000 pounds and has a vertical load up to 500 pounds. I would recommend checking your vehicle's manual to find the proper weight capacity of your vehicle.
