Hey Johnny! As long as you don't have AT4, AT4X, Denali, Elevation, diesel, or Max Trailering package on your 2025 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation you can use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22NR. The Draw-Tite # DT44HR you were looking at isn't an option right now since it is out of stock and we don't know when it will be back. The company is for sale following the bankruptcy of their parent company.
What will you be using the hitch for?

I've installed 2 Curt did not show the Trail Boss as a match but it can be done. 2024 Trail Boss/3.0 liter diesel The hitch will fit but the tools will not. Needed to remove the bumper to come in from the front, avoiding the cooler between the frame rails. Pulling the bumper meant the front fascia had to come off, which meant the grill had to come off, which meant the core support cover had to come off. It was an entertaining Saturday afternoon. The hitch looks good and works well 2025 rail Boss/6.2 liter V8 Can install from below without disassembling the front of the truck but you may have to argue with the tow loop bolts. GM installs both from the passenger side. If the driver side bolts came in from the outside of the frame rail, access would be much easier. Common issues 1) Lower chin mount support guards need to be removed or modified, but the hitch crossbar provides the same protection 2) The bolts for the left frame rail are a bit of a struggle. Re-use the OE tow loop bolt with a tapered lead instead of the kit provided bolt. Install the upper bolts first on the left frame rail. Some pushing/pulling will be required and the leverage is easier when lining up the lower bolt holes. Looking at the instructions, this may not be an issue with a GMC installation I also added the chin spoiler that is deleted with the Trail Boss package to cover the hitch bar and clean up the look. Both installations are posted on the site with photos I have a tight fit for storing a boat trailer and it's much easier when looking at it instead of over a shoulder or through a mirror. I also use it for a Plow. Snow sport, I wouldn't do anything commercial with it but it's perfect for a driveway and doesn't need any hydraulic or electrical work.
