Jeff,
If you have the OEM hitch on your GMC, those are known to fail under regular use (google "GM hitch failure"). Not a good idea to stress it even more with an extension.
Look at eBay or Amazon. I found my front hitch on Amazon for just over $100 shipped. A class V is going to be more, obviously, but look around.

X2 I have a 2004 GM and have seen the hitch failures that are noted here. Once I saw that the older GM hitches were weak, I bought the heavy duty hitch and extensions. I tow lots of different trailers, but mostly a 6X12 enclosed with a 900# Harley inside.
