Will Drawbar Fit 2009 Chevy Traverse?
Question:
I have a 2009 Chev Traverse and my drawbars which worked fine on my Tahoe will not work on the Traverse in the ball mount position. Your #amsc2 which you recommend for the Traverse looks the same in the picture, but cant tell for sure. The problem is that the pin hole in the receiver is 4.75 inches from the bumper and license plate face and mounted tight underneath the bumper, providing no clearance for any projection/weld of the ball mount.

I went out to the warehouse and measured ball mount # AMSC2. It is 4.75 inches from the pin hole to the weld. We do have drawbars that could clear the bumper and license plate face. For example, drawbar # 2736 is 7 inches from the pin hole to the weld. This may give you the clearance you need. It is a different design and a capacity of 5,000 lbs, but can get the job done for you. I have included a link to it below.
