Hitch and Towing Capacity for 2013 Chevy Equinox
Question:
Whats the towing capacity on a 2013 Chevy equinox with a V6 engine and a factory installed hitch
asked by: Tom
Expert Reply:
From the research I did it looks like the towing capacity for your 2013 Chevy Equinox with a V6 is 1,500 lbs.
For a trailer hitch we have the etrailer part # e98865 which is a confirmed fit that would work well.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
Then for trailer wiring we have the part # 118494 as a confirmed fit as well.
