GM has small tie down loops in the bed of the truck, I use a carabiner clip to hook mine to the loop near the rear of the bed, easily reached while I'm connecting the umbilical. Another option is to get a small d-ring from your local hardware store with a couple machine screws and mount it wherever you want it. It doesn't take much to pull the pin if there is ever a breakaway so realistically you only need something capable of holding a few lbs.

Finally, no you should not attach it to the hitch. I have never seen a hitch head or legs break away, but it is possible and I assume has happened at some point or they wouldn't recommend not to do it. Goes to the old saying, learn from others mistakes. As easy as it is to connect to an alternate location, why wouldn't you?
