Question:
What is the distance from the hitch pin hole to the end of the bumper? At least one customer encountered an issue where there wasnt enough clearance. Thank you

Expert Reply:
The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper on the # e83ZR is 4-1/2". If that is too far back for your needs I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C47HR. The same distance on this Curt hitch is only 2". I also like this hitch because it has a concealed cross tube. This gives it a nice clean look since you don't have the cross tube hanging down at the rear of your vehicle. Both of these will work with the # C45534 you were looking at. If you need wiring as well the # 118467 is the most reliable option.
I have attached some installation videos below for your reference.
