front hitch - how to deal with vertical pin?
 

Is there an adapter or something to make the front hitch usable with standard receivers? With a vertical pin, I can not see how a reciever can attach.

Thanks

Yes. GM Part # 12499083.

It's part of a complete trailer package... sells for $160 at your dealership, or you can get it from GM Parts Direct for $115 (copy and paste the part # into the search box).

The other alternative is a locking hitch pin such as the Bully locking hitch pin (Google it) which must be inserted from the bottom of the receiver. Looks like this:
