Trailer Hitch and 4-Pole Trailer Wiring Harness Recommended for 2013 Chevy Equinox
Question:
2013 Chevrolet Equinox 2.4 LS wiring needed What recommended product do you suggest for bicycle and light aluminum trailer.
asked by: Joseph M
Expert Reply:
For the hitch, the Draw-Tite Class II # 36408 hitch is a fit, but for about the same cost, you can get the Class III etrailer model with the more popular 2 inch receiver, part # e98865. Whenever the choice is available, I'll always recommend going with the 2 inch receiver, as there are many more hitch mounted accessories available.
For a 4-pole trailer wiring harness, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118494. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball. If you go with the Class II # 36408, I'd recommend using the # C45521 ball mount along with # A-80 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # A-82 for a 2 inch ball. If you go with the Class III hitch with the 2 inch receiver, you'll want to use the # 2753 ball mount and the # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 63845 for 2 inch.
I've linked to some install videos that you might find helpful.
