I tried before, and can not find an after market hitch for my 2007 Suburban. I appears that the hitch actually doubles as the rear most cross member of the frame. I don't remember if it is bolted or welded, but it is also very high up, just under the cargo floor. It exits through the bumper cover, not underneath it. None of the usual suspects carry a replacement, and the 2007-later Suburban doesn't show up on the list of replacement hitches. My local welding shop has no listings either. (Yet)
The hitch is rated to 10000lbs, with a 1000lb tongue weight ( with weight distribution).
I tow 5200lbs, with 600lbs tongue weight ( Overlander) or 3000lbs with 300lbs tongue weight ( Flying Cloud)
I can see the side to side movement of the trailer tongue through my rear view mirror. I can not feel it while towing. It was unnerving at first, but now I am used to it. What I can't get used to is the idea that GM would make such a loose fitting trailer hitch.
