Recommended Trailer Hitch Wiring Harness Ball Mount and Trailer Ball for 2016 Chevy Cruze
Question:
Hi, I have a 2016 Chevy Cruze and I would like to but a trailer hitch. Kindly help me choose the right product.

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Chevy Cruze, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # C11439. The # 24943 you'd looked at would be a great hitch, but it's much more difficult and time consuming to install.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118696. For a ball mount, use # C45521 and a # PC2 hitch pin. For a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, use # A-80 or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball.
I've linked to installation videos and instructions for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness.
