Hitch Extender
I bought a 14" hitch extender today as I was in a tight spot a couple of weeks ago and almost took out a tail light:) Turns out....the extender REDUCES tongue and tow weight by 50%. Makes sense...

That certainly is cheaper. Although online in Canada they are not AS cheap....but still cheaper.
Here's my personal problem....if the truck was 4 years or older with higher mileage.....I would probably go with an aftermarket.
But my baby is only one year old and low mileage....so I feel the need to keep it whole.
I'm an idiot.
I totally agree about OEM and the one I listed was “OEM new” which Rockauto says is the same part as the assembly line. When I needed a taillight for a couple year old Yukon I was faced with a much larger difference in price. I ended up with aftermarket and it matched OEM 100 percent and even came with all of the bulbs and the wiring harness for a fraction of OEM. Worst case I was going to replace the other side if the appearance was off.
