The only hitch pin that will work from the top is the factory articulated (hinged) pin. A straight pin that would be long enough to go through the receiver from the top can't be inserted because of interference of the grill. The only pin that can be used from the bottom has to be a locking pin to keep it from falling out (you can't get to the top of the receiver to insert the clevis into the hitch pin).

You can still get one of the H2 Trailering Accessory Kits on eBay which includes the articulating hitch pin.



Or you can get just the articulated pin from GM Parts Direct; Part No. 15059236 ($36.78).

And yes, you'll probably find that you cant open the hood all the way with a ball mount hanging off the front receiver.
