I need a trailer hitch too for my utility trailer since I can't haul the stuff I could in my 08 Silverado with an 8ft box. I am tempted to use the Curtis hitch since it is cheap and looks easy to put on, but I would probably wished I'd got the factory hitch. Are the OE Tahoe hitches all the same, or is there one specific to the PPV? I'm guessing the rear bumper cover has to come off to install? I also need whatever harness for a 4 pin light?
I would guess for the Curtis hitch you would have to remove some of the bolts that fasten the factory bumper beam. IMO, since you need to remove some of those, it's nothing to remove the fascia, then just a few more bolts to completely remove the original bumper beam. For the price listed on Curtis website, a factory beam is not much more at all.

It appears all OE hitches, 07-14 anyway, (Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban and Escalade) work on PPV's. I used an 07 Tahoe out of a junk yard. I found that I got lucky finding one in a yard.
As far as the wiring my truck has the trailer wiring tucked up behind bumper. Another thing you will need regardless of OE or Curtis is the 7 pin connecter that snaps into the OE bumper that the trailer connects to.
