Do I Have to Trim the Bumper When Installing the EcoHitch Front Hitch on a 2023 Chevy Trailboss LT?
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 05/01/2025
Question:
Good Morning It looks like the EH58RR will fit my 2023 Chevy Trailboss LT, but I am wondering if I need to modify the bottom of the front bumper. It looks like there is a piece of plastic right in the center where the receiver might come out. Can you please advice or direct me to a video that shows installation? Thanks

Hey Michael! You won't need to modify the bumper on your 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Trailboss LT. The receiver is designed to stick out right below the bumper on the EcoHitch item # EH58RR. The only part you'll have to trim is that lower fascia.
Sorry but we do not have a video or installation instructions available for the EcoHitch item # EH58RR. EcoHitch for whatever reason does not post their install instructions online they just come in the box.

Hey Michael, did trimming the lower fascia on your Trailboss LT work out for you? I'm curious because it could help others who are considering the same installation.
