Hey Keith, for a replacement 7-way socket for your 2016 Chevy Suburban we have the Hopkins part # HM40975 that actually has a 4-way on the side of it as well. This comes with a mounting bracket that you wouldn't have to use as the connector will twist right in to the bumper mount you have now. What do you tow with your Suburban?

That doesnt look like it snaps in like the factory 7 way. I tow trailers and sometimes a friends boat. Keith

@KeithM Does your Suburban have a twist in style connector currently in the bumper?

@JamesonC The 2016 suburban has the twist in. I took a pic but dont see an option to attach it. A little tab you push in in the left between 8 and 9 o'clock. Then about a 1/3rd round extended piece at the bottom to hold in place.
