How about fitting trailer hitches to all H3s from tha factory?
Failing that, being able to upgrade the damn thing without needing a new bumper

That's the dumbest design decision on the whole truck.

What is strange is the fact they are using two different bumpers. A trailer hitch bumper without a trailer hitch would not look that bad, and would cut costs. Right now, GM has to have two unique bumpers shipped for assembly, as well as carry two unique bumpers in GM parts for replacement.
I can see why they cut out the center of the bumper to decrease any loss in angle of departure.
