We had some discussion early last year about how the newer Suburban/Yukon had weak hitch receivers. Does any manufacturer offer a class V hitch yet?

I would LOVE to know myself!

Putnam told me about 6 months ago they were going to make one. Also, there is a company that makes a swinging type reciever that fits the nw Suburbans...but it is over $2000!!!!!!!!

Please let me know what you find out.

Putnam for sure if available.

I can't contact Putnam via email, 800 number, or direct dial. I have been told they closed the business about 2 months ago.

Got mine there.

Thank you for your reply.

What vehicle do you have?

I don't see a listing for 2007-2009 Suburban/Yukon XL.

hmmmmm.....I dont see anything for an 07-09 burban either....got'em for the p/u trucks, but not the burbs. You might want to just call the company and ask. THey probably cross reference numbers with the p/u trucks, or they are the same as the 06's and just havent updated the site. Worth a shot. Ive got a 1500hd.

It seems that from 2007 on the hitch receiver is integrated with the rear bumper. That complicates making an aftermarket class 4 or class 5 receiver.

I have found 1 company that makes a receiver/hitch system for the vehicle. It is entirely different than the typical fixed ball receiver. I'll know more next week, but my guess is that it may install without removing the factory receiver. They have a 10,000 pound and 20,000 pound version. It relocates the pivot point from the ball to a point about 1 foot behind the rear axle. My research indicates that it's strength is reducing sway. VERY expensive...close to $3000!!!!!!!! www.pullrite.com
