Hey Lori, thanks for reaching out!
You want to go with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1674 for your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 to match up with your Blue Ox Aventa 7335 tow bar. There are some more cost-effective options, but those require adapters and by the time you purchase both of them you'll be spending more money than you initially would have, so going with the Blue Ox option in the first place is the best route to take.
