# BUMPER MOUNTED TRAILER HITCHES SPECIAL HITCH USE

The use of lightweight bumper materials on some car lines means that bumper mounted hitches can no longer be used on these car lines.

Inability to use a bumper hitch does not mean a trailer cannot be towed. It does mean that at least a lightweight frame/body hitch is required.

In the following table "Yes" indicates that you can use a bumper mounted hitch.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
