Hitch looks like decent construction for a class one bolted on perfect. If your car doesnt have the exhaust heat shield it literally takes less than 5 minutes to put the bolts in and torque of them to spec, if you have the tools. Good buy made in the USA and will haul my bikes. Paid extra for the 3 day shipping for the hitch and my new bike rack both shipped out promptly that day 3 days later it was here.

This is the second Curt I have installed on a Cruze. It is a well made product. Installation on my 2012 Cruze ECO was easy and took less than an hour.
As always the service from etrailer was great! Why even look anywhere else!

by: Kevin O07/02/2020
I have had this hitch on the car for a couple of years now and have had 0 issues. Has held up very well. I normally attach a 2 bike rack and have never worried about it falling off. If you are installing yourself make sure to set aside extra time during the install. Installation took 2 hours longer then I had planned.

etrailer.com is one of the best internet sellers! I have purchased several trailer hitches, wiring harnesses and other miscellaneous products over the years, and they are always prompt, courteous and accurate with their information. The hitch I recently purchased arrived on time, and everything I needed was in the box. Following the installation instructions I was able to install the hitch in less than 15 minutes, without help. As always, the fit was perfect and the installation went off without a hitch! Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!
by: Raleigh S.08/10/2017
Etrailers products always exceed my needs. I have used them for my past 3 trailer set ups and will continue to use them. Their customer service is excellent. The trailers hitches are so easy to install too! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
I purchased the C11282 hitch receiver, hitch bar, and wiring kit that all was perfectly matched to the '14 Chevy Cruze. I already installed the package after watching with the concise on-line video instructions. Great product, instructions, easy installation, and rapid standard shipping.
I considered purchasing the hitch package from a local brick and mortar store but decided on etrailer.com to insure all the parts were matched for my car.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
Receiver Hitch fit the 2014 Cruze with no modifications. Took about 30 minutes to install. The nifty bolt installation tool (fish wire) was excellent. It is used with a bike carrier and a basket carrier for my brother's fishing gear.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze
The hitch receiver for my Chevy Cruze (C11282) has a nice finish, appears to be very well made, (Nice welds and heavy duty material) is surely a great quality product, which will probably outlast my car! The installation was easy, only took about 20 minutes, and I didn't even have to lower my exhaust as the directions suggested. Very happy with my new hitch receiver and it works great with my bike rack.
by: Roger C.09/23/2014
2014 Chevrolet Cruze
The hitch installed very easily. I used a floor jack to hold it up, after I fished the bolt/plates into the frame. Made it much easier than trying to bench-pressing the hitch while trying to install the nuts... Very well made hitch, will hold my bike rack perfectly!
by: Mark05/08/2016
2012 Buick Verano
Great product. I didn't have a lift for the car, so fishing the bolts through was a little tough around the muffler. (There was a brace in the way so the muffler didn't drop down to much on my 2012 Verano.) Once that the bolts were fished through though, it only took about 10 minutes to get it bolted on and it looks great. Will definitely tell people looking to buy a hitch about this.
by: Jim P08/21/2015
2014 Chevrolet Cruze
After reviewing the super video for this unit on my car I ordered and installed it with no problems.
A very minor discrepancy was that the printed instructions called for a 3/4" socket but the parts are 7/16" nuts -- no big deal.
This is for a Chevy Cruze and is to be used to carry bikes. The easiest way to handle bikes.
I would definitely go with etrailer.com again.

2013 Chevy Cruze
Wow! I received the trailer hitch the day after I ordered it. I watched the video on installation. I thought there was no way it could be that easy. My 6 year old daughter and I installed the hitch onto my 2013 Chevy Cruise. I timed it and it took 8:32. In less that ten minutes I drove it off my wheel ramps. Amazing.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Trailer Hitch Fits for 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 2LT RSAll three of the light-duty Class I hitches we offer for the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze will fit all models of the vehicle. The trim level does not affect hitch compatibility. Of the three hitches shown on the linked page I suggest the Curt # C11282 since it has the same weight capacity as the others but it costs less. An installation video for the Curt hitch # C11282 is included along with the written instructions. You'll need basic tools; the only specialized item required is a torque wrench...
view full answer... - Comparing Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2015 Chevy Cruze LTThere are some subtle differences between Curt trailer hitches # C11282 and # C11425. The receiver is longer on # C11425 and they don't have all the same vehicle fits. Hitch # C11282 fits the 2011 to 2015 Cruze excluding diesels models, 2016 Cruze Limited models, and the 2012 to 2017 Buick Verano excluding turbo and dual exhaust models. Hitch # C11425 fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited models and 2015 Chevrolet Cruze models except for the diesel models. If it were me I would go with #...
view full answer... - Utility Trailer, Trailer Hitch Receiver, and Wiring Harness For Towing With 2014 Buick Verano 2.4LFirst you will only be able to tow a trailer if your 2014 Buick Verano has the 2.4L engine and a single exit exhaust. The 2.0L turbo is not rated to tow from Buick and will not fit with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. This receiver paired with a 2.4L single side exhaust will allow you to tow up to 1,000lbs according to your owners manual. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56288 will give you a 4-way flat trailer connector. This will connect to a Detail K2 Mighty Multi...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Chevy CruzeThe Curt trailer hitch # C11282 is rated for 2,000 pounds gross trailer weight and 200 pounds tongue weight. Your 2016 Chevy Cruze is rated for a maximum of 1,000 pounds according to the owner's manual. this will limit the hitch to 1,000 pounds. The hitch does fit the 2016 Cruze. The correct ball mount for this hitch and vehicle is # C45522. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring use # 118508 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear...
view full answer... - Will the Thule OutWay Fit a 2011 Chevy CruzeAccording to our friends at Thule, the OutWay 3 Bike Rack, part # TH56BV is a fit for your 2011 Cruze. The attachment hooks on the OutWay are completely coated in soft plastic, and if adjusted and installed correctly will not further scratch the finish on your vehicle. For ease and speed of installation and removal, the Raceway is the best trunk-mounted bike rack we offer. When installing the rack, Thule specifically states that the bottom mounting hooks need to attach to the metal bumper...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevy Cruze To Carry Power ChairI recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11282 because you have an extra 3/4" ground clearance compared to the other option for the Chevy Cruze. This is important when carrying a cargo carrier because they are less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations. The only hitches available for your vehicle at this time are Class I hitches so they are not rated for a lot of tongue weight and the wheelchair carrier and wheelchair are both considered tongue weight...
view full answer... - Is Bumper or Fascia Trimming Required to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Chevy CruzeTo install Curt trailer hitch # C11282, you will not need to make any modifications to the bumper or rear fascia. You will need to temporarily lower the exhaust by simply removing the affected area off of its hangers while supporting the pipes with a strap. And there is a heat shield that has to be modified as well but it is under the vehicle and not visible. Once installed the receiver will be below the rear fascia. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the hitch...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy CruzeIf you have a gas engine in your 2015 Chevy Cruze you would want the Curt Hitch part # C11282, if you have a diesel engine you would want the part # C11371. For a ball mount you would want the part # C45522, 1-7/8 inch ball part # 19256, 2 inch ball # 19258. If you are looking for a bike rack the Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 is a great option. It's one of our most popular racks and has been reviewed very well.
view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt Class I Receiver # C11282 on 2012 Chevy Cruze with RS PackageAccording to Curt Manufacturing, the # C11282 is compatible with all models of the Chevy Cruze, including those equipped with the RS package. If you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, keep in mind that the warranty requirements of the hitch require that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required. The Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24882 has no such requirement, which is why I would recommend it over the Curt model. I have linked you to installation instructions...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Small Trailer to Haul Furniture with 2014 Chevy CruzeA small utility trailer like the K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame # K2MMT5X7 that we offer would be a great choice for you. The trailer weighs around 450 bs, which would leave lots of capacity available for cargo. The trailer is extremely versatile, with removable sides and a folding front and rear tailgate for tons of carrying options. The Curt # C11282 hitch you'd looked at would work perfectly, and for a wiring harness I'd recommend # 118508.
view full answer... - Can the Yakima HoldUp EVO be Used with Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy CruzeThe Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02480 is an excellent bike rack that I believe you'd be happy with but I do have to say that it is 50 lbs. When I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Chevy Cruze it stated that the max trailer weight for your vehicle is 1,000 lbs and that the max tongue weight is 10% of that (100 lbs). So even if you're using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11282 which has a 200 lb tongue weight rating, you are limited to the 100 lbs. If your bikes don't weigh...

- Will the Thule Helium Aero Fit a Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy CruzeWhen we did a test fit of the Curt trailer hitch # C11282 we measured 6 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the rear bumper. I have linked a video showing the installation for you. On the Thule Helium Aero, # TH9042PRO, it measures 14-3/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast, 11-1/4 inches to the lever that allows the rack to tilt, and 4-1/2 inches to the anti-rattle knob. Because the rear bumper curves up above the hitch, there...

Unfortunately, Class-II trailer hitches are not a fit for your 2013 Chevy Cruze. At the moment, the most popular trailer hitch is the Curt # C11282. It is custom fit for your Cruze and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds and maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. I also included a link showing all 3 custom fit trailer hitches too.

Written instructions get the job done but seeing someone complete the installation on video takes all of the guess work out of it for me. I'm glad to hear that you also feel that they are a great help. As for the bolt leader wire, yes it is included with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11282, for your 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. This is a custom fit hitch and offers bolt-on installation with no drilling or...
view full answer... - Hitch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Buick Verano with 1-1/4 Inch HitchThanks again for your recent purchase! The Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, # Y02458, can be used on a sedan but it is not compatible with a Class I hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11282, that installed on your 2014 Buick Verano. In this case it wouldn't work for your sedan but no worries, I have numerous other options for you and have included those in the attached link. One of our most popular options for a Class I compatible bike rack is the Swagman...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2012 Chevrolet CruzeFrom the research I found, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. The Curt Hitch, part # C11282, will work for you. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. To tow a trailer you will need ball mount # C45522, pin and clip # F-4, and a...
view full answer... - Availability of Hitch Installation Video for Curt Hitch # C11282 on 2013 Chevrolet CruzeWe do have an installation video to show you the process of mounting Curt hitch # C11282 on a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The video is linked for you. I also included a helpful article that provides additional tips for an easier installation. The written instructions for the hitch are also linked for you and you can review these to see the list of tools required, which include basic hand tools as well as a torque wrench like # ALL944001.
view full answer... - Advisability On Using Extensions With a Tow BarAlthough it would seem like an ideal way to carry the items you wish to carry, I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and they told me that they strongly advise against adding additional extenders to the hitch. Adding the reducer on your receiver does not reduce the towing capacity, but the double receiver does. Normally, adding extensions to your receiver reduces the towing capacity by 50%. Adding an additional extension would certainly reduce the towing capacity by another 50%. With that...

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info. Curt requires the use of their stabilizer strap part # 18050 when using their hitch to carry a non-supported...
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Kit Availability for a 2016 Chevy CruzeWe have trailer wiring confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Chevy Cruze, but it is a universal kit that will require hardwiring for installation. You would want the part # C59236 which has been confirmed as a fit.
view full answer... - Are There Any 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers Available For A 2012 Chevy Cruze Unfortunately, the only trailer hitch receivers that our vendors currently offer for a 2012 Chevy Cruze are Class 1, which only come with a 1-1/4" receiver tube like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. You be able to haul a bike on the Cruze you would need to either switch to truck mount style rack, like the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, or use a bike rack designed for a 1-1/4" receiver tube.

We'll use that dimension when recommending a cargo carrier that will work for you. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this measurement is taken. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The hitch-mounted cargo carrier I recommend is the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part #...
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Chevy Cruze to Carry Bike RackYour Chevy Cruze would need a trailer hitch installed in order to carry the Thule DoubleTrack # TH92BJ bike rack. The hitch is sold separately. Of the hitches available for your Cruze, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24882. The Draw-Tite model isn't the least expensive, but it would be better suited to carrying the bike rack you're interested in. The Curt # C11282 warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap, part # 18050 be used for non-trailer loads like bike racks....
view full answer... - Does the Curt Hitch part # C112821 Come with All Necessary Installation HardwareThe Curt Hitch part # C11282 that you referenced comes with everything needed to install the hitch on your 2013 Chevy Cruze. It comes with 4 square hole spacers, 4 carriage bolts, 4 flange nuts and a 7/16 inch pull wire. I attached installation instructions plus an install video for you to check out also. This hitch comes with a ball mount and ball plus a pin and clip, so to complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56214.
