There is not a grille guard for your 2019 GMC 3500 Denali that will fit with base plates from any of our manufacturers for either part. They install in the exact same location to your frame so they take the same space and are not compatible.

If you choose the Base Plate kit to flat tow, then you will use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU22QR.

If you choose the grille guard, I recommend the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard - 1 Piece - Black Powder Coated Steel # 40-3795. This is the most popular style and has a great reputation.

You can swap between them as needed, but you will need to use different hardware each time because the hardware is torqued to spec.
