Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EV

Question

Question:

Does the EcoHitch Item # 306-X7359 fit on the 2023 model of the Bolt EV, now that the backup light is embedded in the rear bumper? Can the cut-away that needs to be made on 2022 Bolt EV bumpers that Ive seen on YouTube videos still be made on the 2023 bumper?

Thanks for the picture! The EcoHitch Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7359 is confirmed to fit the 2023 Bolt EV. I checked with EcoHitch, the cut in your Bolt's trim will be made below the rear light in your bumper.

I have attached a couple of pictures below that will show you where the cut is made along with an installation video.
