Not sure if this post is in the correct section but here goes nothing I have a 2005 gmc Jimmy zr2 and while searching for trailer hitches its near impossible, while still being able to find trailer hitches for 2005 Blazers. My question is if i buy a blazer trailer hitch will it still bolt to my Jimmy?

 

I believe the differences in the ZR2 and the regular Blazers are with the suspension components, not the frame where the receiver-hitch would be mounted. You will likely need a ball-mount to put into the receiver due to the ride height of the ZR2.

If you could get some dimensions for the receiver-hitches you are interesting in buying, you could check before making the purchase.

 

Call etrailer, I bought all my hitches and carriers from them - good stuff.

Look in any salvage yard...lots of OEM hitches on vehicles being parted out...make sure you get all the mounting bolts/nuts.

 

Pretty sure it's the same hitch bolt on setup on a ZR2 and a non ZR2, Jimmy or Blazer. I think even the center section of the bumper is all interchangeable between them if I'm not mistaken; all the mounts on the frame are the same.

 

I have not seen a 2 or 4 door Blazer that did not have a factory hitch installed. I suspect a hitch was an option, but just have not seen one, at least in my neck of the woods.....without one. How did a ZR2 not get a factory hitch?

I agree that any hitch from a Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada are all the same......

 

My 04 4 door did not have one when I got it, I had to install one. One of the first things I did before I even got it legal actually lol

 

Yep....sure there are some Blazers out there without the factory hitch.....and now I am going to be checking everyone that I see....just because.

Are those additional LEDs tied to the reverse lites or on a separate switch?

 

They were tied into the reverse light circuit. They were pretty terrible. They've since been replaced with something MUCH better

 

My 2000 LS doesn't have a hitch but it has a hole in the bumper (that I would never ever use) for a trailer.
