Most likely, yes. The factory hitch comes with a bumper that allows it to almost fit flush with the bottom of the bumper. An aftermarket hitch would have to hang below the bumper; unless you cut out the bumper where the hitch is installed.

Reason Hummer did it this way is to allow for less reduction in the departure angle. Why they didn't just produce one bumper with the cutout in it for all applications, is due to they did not want the muffler showing through the cutout in the bumper, if no hitch installed.
