2022 OEM Trailer Hitch install videos

[BCraig]

I have a 2022 Equinox LT 1.5 and I want to install the OEM Trailer hitch for hauling my bicycle around. I've search for video of the install, but haven't had any luck. Can someone point me to a video showing the removal of the bumper and installing the OEM trailer hitch. I found one video on youtube of a deasel model, but the details for the bumper was lacking. Any help would be appreciated.

I see a picture of the bumper cover on page 254 of the manual, and instructions to remove it. I have no video link info tho.

I installed a hitch on my 2020 Equinox and did not have to remove the bumper. Are the 2022 bodies different?

Thanks for the rreply, but the picture you referenced is the cover that covers the factory hitch. I need to remove the full bumper cover/trim and the actual bumper underneath the cover in order to install the OEM hitch. I need guidance in removing the entire cover/trim/facia in order to remove the bumber. The hitch actually replaces the aluminum bumper under the cover. Again, thanks though.

Yes they are.

Yes they are.

My Equinox is a 2020 not a 2000.

My Equinox is a 2020 not a 2000.

Apparently they are. The OEM hitch replaces the existing aluminum square tube bumper under the bumper cover/facia.

This subject caught my attention as I bought an aftermarket (Curt 13439) hitch and haven't yet installed it. This hitch sits below the bumper, so not at all like the OEM. It will be an obvious aftermarket product. Oh well. '22 RS.

Check on etrailer for an install video.

I'm also looking for video/instructions to be able to install the OEM hitch receiver but I haven't been able to find any videos. I've seen a number of them for aftermarket receivers but I also want to have the OEM receiver so that it doesn't hang down so low in the back. I plan on using it for my bike rack hauling our ebikes. Pricing I've found on the OEM receiver is around $300 and I've seen seen estimates for installation run between $150-$1000 dollars. I'll post again once I find something. Let me know if you end up finding something as well. Thanks.

I have a 2020 that I just bought the OEM hitch for, hope to get it installed in the next couple of weeks. I found this YouTube video for a 2018, but looks like it should be very similar.

The factory on sits higher up than the aftermarket
and your factory cover will hide when not in use.
More expensive but a cleaner look in my opinion.

I did a search for that and got this video which seems to have it covered 100% but no trailer wiring included, 2022 trailer hitch installation by U-Haul

The wiring on a 22 is easy you have a plug under the back bumper just pull out the dummie plug and install this.
Takes 5 min to install it has the built in relays to function properly with your LED tail lights.
