The Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver, # 3371801102 is confirmed to fit the 2021 Chevrolet Express Van/GMC Savana Cutaway Chassis. This has a 2" receiver tube opening with class V rating. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 12,000 lbs. and maximum tongue weight of 1,200 lbs. and comes with built-in safety chain loops.

For towing a trailer, a ball mount and wiring is needed as well. I have attached a helpful link to our selection of ball mounts and a help article on selecting the right mount for your application. For wiring I recommend the T-One # 118392. Note the attached installation video of this on a 2021 Chevrolet Express Van. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness so no need to cut and splice wires. I do recommend that you use a small amount of grease on all electrical connections to help prevent corrosion.

If your trailer requires use of electric brakes then I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195. This is one the most popular brake controllers, it is a tried-and-true option that has proven its worth. For the needed wiring kit, I suggest the # ETBC7. Note that some models may have wiring pre-installed, I suggest you check along the driver's side frame rail towards the rear tire as well as under the dash for wiring that is taped up for a brake controller for the installation.
