Recommended Front Mounted Hitch for a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500
Question:
I have a 2023 Chevy Silverado 2500 and I am looking for a front mounted hitch. I see you have two options. Which would be best for mounting a bike rack?

Expert Reply:
Since you are going to be using the front mounted hitch for a bike rack, I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch item # DT57MR. This hitch is confirmed to fit your 2023 Silverado 2500 and mounts to your truck with included hardware.
This front mounted hitch has a 900 lbs capacity for mounting accessories and a 9,000 lbs gross trailer weight. The 2" x 2" receiver sticks out at the bottom of the front bumper and does not effect your ground clearance.
The reason I recommend the Draw- Tite item # DT57MR over the EcoHitch item # EH57FR is that the receiver sticks out a little farther. This will be beneficial for clearance when mounting your bike rack and bikes.
I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can see what this hitch looks like when installed.
