The Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C12225, that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix. This trailer hitch has capacities of 3,500 lbs gross trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight.

You will need to add the weight of the ATV trailer with the weight of your 2014 Yamaha Grizzly and make sure you stay under the weight limit of trailer hitch. Additionally, you should consult the owner's manual of your Grand Prix to determine what Pontiac recommended for towing capacities. When determining what your overall towing capacities are you should always use the lowest towing capacity component in your towing setup as your overall towing capacity. From what I could find in Pontiac's online owner's manual, it looks like the Grand Prix towing limit is 1000 lbs, so you will want to make sure your ATV and trailer are under that.

We have an informational article for you to review, see link, that explains tongue weight and how to measure tongue weight on your trailer, as well as an installation video.
