Question:

My truck is a 2024 Silverado 1500 RST. When you say trimming is involved is it the soft plastic air dam at the bottom or the hard plastic trim piece above it? I have a marked up Photograph I can send you.EH58RR

Hey Kevin, the install of the EcoHitch front hitch part # EH58RR does require trimming of the front fascia but not into the actual bumper. To see exactly where to trim it's a 3-inch by 5-1/2-inch opening, positioned about 1/4 inch below the license plate. This is where the front receiver passes through the fascia. What are you planning on carrying with the front hitch.
