Do you have a link to where you ordered it? I've been trying my a$$ off to get a hitch for my 13.

This was the item I purchased from Holmart. I wonder what the tow bar will cost from Holden Parts USA. Hopefully I didn't over pay!

There seems to be someone near Detroit that is making or distributing 2 inch receiver hitches for Caprices and SSs (possibly G8s). Info in Facebook "Chevy Caprice PPV - Owners & Fans" section. Zachary Watts is the poster. $350 plus shipping. Some notables: behind license plate, A500 1/4" steel tubing, 4600lb capacity,

How does a "behind license plate" version look and work on these cars?

I'm not sure if I love or hate the concept. The posting on FB talks about plate removal or hinged plate. I assume that the hitch being relatively higher is good from a leverage standpoint.
Obstructing or removing the plate does seem to be a problem. I guess the mods to your bumper would be less obvious. They speak of a template so I assume that means some drilling is required. I'm intrigued by the concept. Maybe hanging your plate out of the trunk (like car dealers do) would work.
I feel pretty comfortable the drive-train will "take it".

Here's a link to the hitch: https://ipf-3d-print-works.myshopify.co ... h-receiver

He also sells a bunch of other parts for Caprice/G8 platform (lots of plastic stuff). Maybe he's a member of this forum already? I recently saw a reference to his plastic parts on this forum.
