Hey George,

For your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 I recommend the EcoHitch # EH58RR. This is going to give you a 1000lb Tongue Weight capacity which will be plenty for a bike rack and a few bikes. The install looks pretty clean too, it installs with the receiver being just under the license plate, so with no rack installed it really blends in to the front fascia.

Which bike rack do you plan on using? Or are you needing a rack too?

I installed the front hitch on my Chevy 3500 dually. It was an amazing fit with everything required to complete the job. I am very satisfied with the results and use it for carrying extra gear while on the road including a spare generator and supplies for camping. the truck is a high country so the finish was important and it looks great. Most hardly notice it

Bought and installed this a little over a year ago now, and am very satisfied. The installation was very straightforward - I'm not a mechanical ace, and it went just fine... especially with the video for reference. It looks real clean up front. I've hauled bikes across the country in front, as well as used this to push some things I was towing to get them backed into a tight spot. Very happy with it.
