Expert Reply:
I do have an option for you, but we do not carry a class 3 hitch for a 2002 Buick Century. The only hitch available is a class 2 hitch like the # C12239 which has a 1-1/4" square receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. You can absolutely still use this hitch for a small trailer. You will simply need a ball mount to go with the 1-1/4" hitch. For that I recommend the Curt starter kit # C45147 which comes with a draw bar, pin and clip and a 2" trailer ball.
We also offer the 4 flat wiring harness # 18252 if you need to wire in a connection for trailer lights.
