There is one trailer hitch receiver that stands above the rest for your 2023 Chevy Bolt EV, which is the hitch from EcoHitch; I verified with them the correct part number for your '23 Bolt EV is the following:

- EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7359

The reason the EcoHitch # 306-X7359 is easily the best for your 2023 Bolt EV is because it is the only one with a 2 inch hitch receiver, and its 300 lb tongue weight rating is also the highest for hitches that fit. The other hitches not only have 1-1/4" receivers with 200 lb tongue weight ratings, they are also Class I hitches. That means you are limited to Class I-rated accessories only, while the EcoHitch doesn't limit you.

The 300 lb tongue weight rating of the EcoHitch also allows you to use a heavy bike rack and electric bikes, something the weaker 200 lb rated hitches may not allow.
