We aren't a big fan of the hitch setup on our 2500HD in regards to attaching the safety chains for our Arctic Fox 22G trailer. As you can see in the pics, the hooks are too big for the rather odd hitch hole arrangement. Even if I were to remove the little latch on the hook it still won't quite go through the holes. So, the dealer came up with the smaller chain and quick link type solution so we can attach the safety chains. I guess I don't like the added length from this setup. I really don't want to drill more holes or grind on the existing ones. I've tried a bigger quick link by itself but it won't go all the way around and through both holes. This GMC hitch setup is just weird. I've looked at a little bit smaller hooks for the safety chains but then they won't fit all the way through on the hitch. Maybe I just haven't found the right hook yet? Anyone else run into this problem and what solution did you come up with that you are satisfied with?

Unlike my 2020, my 2024 HD would not keep the reverse sensors active when I left any type of hitch in the receiver. I tried popping the inner bumper sensors out slightly and angling them up and out; that made absolutely no difference. What did work very well was draping some one-half inch open cell foam over the top of the trucks receiver and whatever hitch I had pinned in. It turns out for some reason the foam doesn't actually need to extend clear back and over the top of the ball itself. The second picture shows that foam folded back and that still worked just fine. The real test was my Air Shock hitch. Surprise surprise, another simple piece of foam draped over the top worked great; the system has worked flawlessly for over 2000 miles.
