Is a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Available for a 2013 Cadillac ATS
Question:
The only trailer hitch that is offered for a 2013 Cadillac ATS is a class I with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. For this, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24924 because it does not require any permanent modifications to the vehicle like the other option for your ATS would, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11311. Therefore, if you need to use a trailer hitch you will have no other option but to use a class I with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. Generally speaking, they do not make class III trailer hitches with a 2" receiver tube opening for such small vehicles. These are generally only available for larger trucks and SUV's. Please note that a class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening can be just as capable as a class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for then I would be glad to help confirm this. I have attached an install photo for you as well.
