I bought a new black 2023 Z71 from the local dealer. One of the first things we talked about was towing. 7700 lbs sounded good. There was a little more talk about towing and then we closed the deal. Stupid me never looked for the receiver until the deal was closed. This was a truck that someone ordered and then changed their mind. Yes, you guessed it NO RECEIVER. The dealer offered to pay for a hitch and the after market braking controls installed by a local truck outfitter.
The outfitter ordered the parts and was able to install the wiring but the hitch would not fit without cutting some support in the hitch area. I don't know what it was but I have all the wiring but no receiver. I ran into the same problem the outfitter had - NO one has a receiver for a 2023 Colorado Z71.

The window sticker does say "Auto locking read differential.

U-Haul listed one and I ordered it but I have not received a confirmation or an answer to where is my order.
I have tried Reese, Etrailer, Real truck, Draw Tight, etc., etc.
Now my only hope is U-Haul.
Does anyone have any ideas?

The new hitch 86796043 is installed. The parts dept. at the local dealership ordered one and we waited and waited and it finally arrived. The shop installed it(the bumper was removed to install). So in spite of the strike, and a shortage I finally have a receiver rated at 7700 lbs. Link to Chevy parts - 2023 GM Trailering Package, 7, 700-Lb Capacity 86796043 | GMPartsDirect.com
