GMC Savana (2017–Present) Hitch Installation
Vehicle Coverage: 2017–Present GMC Savana 2500 and 3500 vans; body configuration and vehicle capacity are verified before scheduling
Receiver: Fixed 2-inch receiver
Installation: Six concealed bolts and reinforcement spacers installed through existing frame access slots
Body Work: No drilling required
Trailer Wiring: Optional exact-fit exterior flat-4; passenger vans require additional interior trim access
1. Inspecting the Van Frame and Rear Equipment
The frame rails, spare-tire clearance, exhaust, rear step or bumper equipment, and all six existing mounting points are checked before hardware is inserted.
2. Feeding Reinforcement Hardware into the Frame
Carriage bolts and broad reinforcement spacers are introduced through the factory frame slots and guided into each mounting hole without opening new holes.
3. Raising the Hitch Into Position
The hitch is supported beneath the frame and lifted evenly around the rear equipment. Each bolt is controlled while the side plates capture all six mounting points.
4. Centering and Torquing the Receiver
Flange nuts are started by hand, the receiver is aligned with the van centerline, and the assembly is tightened evenly before every structural fastener is torqued to specification.
5. Final Clearance and Capacity Check
Spare-tire access, exhaust clearance, bumper clearance, safety-chain access, and receiver alignment are verified. The customer is reminded that the van’s own towing limits may be lower than the hitch rating.
No-Drill Frame Installation. The hitch uses the Savana’s existing frame slots and mounting points while preserving normal rear-door and bumper operation.
