Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers.

Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.Great products, great prices, fast shipping and a great company to do business with. Easy install, and it took longer to trim the air dam than installing the hitch.
I have had this hitch installed for just over a year now on my '99 2-door Tahoe. The install was pretty straight forward, and the hitch itself has held up quite well through a year's worth of abuse. I use it to run my bike rack out the front; the receiver protrudes just below the factory front bumper, maximizing ground clearance when adding length to the front of the vehicle. And as you can see, the kit comes with two sets of hardware in case you want to maintain the factory tow hooks like I have.
Terrible, they sent the wrong hitch and now want me to pay shipping for the return
Fit like a glove.
Overall great product and fit nicely! I was able to replace the apron and license plate holder afterwards with little modification, just had to cutout for the hitch. The photo shows how I plan to use it so not much stress for the hitch but it feels extremely solid, I’m sure it would be great for winching.
This is the second front hitch I’ve ordered
Works great,looks nice on the vehicle fits tight under bumper like it came from the assembly line of my truck! I use it for my winches and moving trailers around the yard. Very easy install will take less than 20mins to install. I installed them on a 99 Chevy Tahoe and a 97 Chevy pickup. Very fast delivery from etrailer company
Fits perfectly, i like that it comes with the guide wires makes it all go smooth and easy! Install was maaaybe 30minutes and super simple, using it for winch set up, it is perfect (1993 chevy 1500 silverado extended cab) no modifications needed to my truck! Definitely a cheaper solution than to buying a modified bumper for winching. Nice sturdy product.
The unit exceeded my expectations. The fit was perfect. I also greatly appreciated the extra long bolts so that I could reinstall my OEM tow hooks. Those pulling wires are ingenious !
Front receiver hitch 94 Chevy 1500 4x4 only took 1/2 hr for installation no problems.

Great product, I used it to push snow Meyer home plow and move various trailers around.
drawtite front hitch receiver that bolts directly without modification onto vehicle and works smoothly for placing wagon in its small back corner storage space in a cramped storage yard.
Although it's a front hitch, when delivered, the sticker on the hitch says "not for front installation". Nice hitch and we installed it anyway, however it sat so high on our 1995 Suburban that the bike blocked the driver's view so we weren't able to use it in the front after all

I cant speak to the purpose of the sticker you describe. Draw-Tite confirms that this hitch is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and is indeed designed for use as a front mounted receiver hitch.
I ordered this trailer hitch, and UPS received it the same day. Delivered in 2 days and fits perfectly. 1997 Chevy k1500
Etrailer as usual did an amazing job. Shipping was fast. Product was easy to install. The wires provided were a huge help with getting the bolts aligned properly. My only regret is that there isn't enough projects and money at my house to order more things from etrailer, but they are always my first click when looking. Thank you guys keep up the outstanding work.
Peaches is my 95 Chevy and she loves the front hitch it helps to put the trailer right where I want
Great hitch, fit my 98 Chevy K2500 like a glove. The only thing I'd change is to include 4 longer bolts for people who have tow hooks like my truck has. Had to buy longer ones.
I'm truly satisfied with the font hitch for 99 GMC Yukon and I will keep shopping with etrailer
Excellent fit packaged well was able to leave lower engine cover on and tow hooks would purchase again
It was easy to install and I amv very satisfied and would recommend this company and its products.
Overall a very good quality build. There was only one hiccup in installing that I call an oversight on the manufacturer. The front bolt can not be simply dropped in place because the bumper brackets inside the frame rail are in the way. it's close, but the head of the bolt can't get past it. Only 2 ways around it. remove the entire bumper to be able to remove those brackets, OR do what I did and grind off a little bit on the side of the carriage bolt head to get it to slide past the bracket. what little I had to grind off isn't going to be enough to compromise any weight or load capacity rating. easy enough fix for me, but if you don't have a way to grind the head down the installation will require removing the bumper and brackets. Took about an hour from start to finish. Had to trim just a little bit of the license plate bracket, no big deal.
part had a delay in shipping
Simple install looks nice and hidden up there in front
Super easy install. My 7 year old am I did it in 20 minutes with cutting the lower bumper plastic to fit. Nice to retain the factory tow hooks with supplied hardware.
it fit my 2000 GMC with out trouble. but did remove the wind dame
I received the front receiver hitch for my 1994 Chevrolet Ck series today and could not wait to get it installed a try it out. It is very well built and not too heavy. I am almost eighty years young and had no trouble at all with the installation all by myself.
Since I have no ramps to drive the front upon, I simply used a small scissor type jack to raise the hitch into place and bolted it up with no weight upon my body at all. Special thanks go out to your planners who thought up and included the "pull wires" in the package. They made it very easy for me to get all bolts into the frame holes to begin the installation. I think it would have been an almost impossible task without those wires.
As soon as I got it done, I connected up to a 20 foot utility trailer and moved it into place with ease. I will be doing much more of that in the future. Parking utility trailers while driving forward is much easier than doing it in reverse.
Thanks for being there for us and for stocking such fantastic merchandise.
The rating is based solely on visual examination of the front mounted receiver. The quality appears to be very good. The receiver will be used to mount a winch but I have not yet installed or used the receiver so that could change for the better or worse depending on the results

When I mounted my winch tray the holes for the retaining pin did not line up well. It is difficult to and remove the pin. Cant tell if its the receiver or the winch tray. Maybe a combination of both. Fortunately, I dont have to install the winch often so itll work for now.

I am sorry for any confusion. I do see that this hitch is only designed to fit the GMC Sierra 1500 for the years 1988 - 1999. Since your vehicle is a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, it is not a confirmed fit. I did, however, find part # DT44HR, which has the same specs as this hitch, that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
