I ordered this hitch for my 2017 sonic rs sedan, I was worried it would not fit due to it being an rs, I looked into the q and a on the site and a e trailer expert ensured it fits, when trying to install I found the exhaust and hanger not allowing the hitch to fit even close to its proper location, what a waist of time and money.

Such an easy install. I thought feeding the bolts through the holes would be a pain. I installed it by myself in under 30 minutes. I love how etrailer has how to videos posted as well! The delivery was fast as well.



by:

This was so easy once I jack the rear end up it took me an my buddy maybe 10 mins to install



by:

First, shipping was crazy fast. I placed my order and got a shipping confirmation 2 hours later. I expected my hitch to take at least a week to arrive. Even with the pandemic going on it was here in 5 days. Only 1 day later than the original estimation. When I opened the box I was thoroughly impressed. I order a hitch for a Chevy Sonic, so I figured it wouldn’t be much. Boy was I wrong. This hitch was stout and had some weight to it. Absolutely incredible design and quality. Installation was a breeze with the supplied bolt leaders. I installed this by myself in about 10 minutes. I couldn’t be happier with it. Now I’m ready to buy my boat.

Its still great not rusting or falling apart its solid

The hitch fit perfect. I watched the video on how to install 100% correct. I installed it in 30 minutes without a car lift. Thanks for a great product and a installation video

Easy install for unskilled labor! Will use for mobility equipment.



by:
2012 Chevrolet Sonic

The site said this hitch could be installed in about a half an hour. Usually that mean 2 hours and as I am 68 and don't relish laying on my back under a car, i was apprehensive. But it fit perfectly and the hardware and design were tops so that everything went together without a hitch (oops, poor choice of words). The most time consuming part of the whole process was jacking up the car.
Great job etrailer.

This trailer hitch arrived on time and was easy to install i would definitely recommend this product

Thanks for the prompt delivery of the trailer hitch for my 2013 Chevy
Sonic Sedan. The hitch looked good and fit perfect. I installed it in about 45 minutes.It will be used to tow a lightweight utility trailer.

Nice trailer hitch for the money. It was easy to install on our 2017 Chevy Sonic. Bought this hitch to tow our 14 foot skiff.

This place delivers faster than my local pizza shop. This is the 2nd time I have ordered from etrailers and both times I was extremely satisfied with both the quality and ease of installation and the delivery.I live near a huge trailer and hitch place and have never gotten the satisfaction that I have by installing it myself . A blind monkey could do it.



by:

Ordering process was very easy Shipping was extremely fast. Installation instructions were very straight forward. Fit like it was supposed to. Mitch



by:

Fast to ship. Fair price. Super nice
folks
to deal with. Items come on time.



by:

It will be awhile before I can install it but everything seems to be there. What’s important is that it’s here! I would like to thank everybody for expediting this delivery. Even though it took two phone calls. No harm, no foul!



by:
Chevrolet Sonic

Well though out product design and very well made. Installation was made incredibly easy because of the thought that was put into the way the hitch actually bolts to my sonic. Definitely recommend this over any universal design. Shipped to me very quickly as well.



by:

Was easy to install good instructions bought bike rack to put on it also that fits this better overall good investment



by:

very easy to install, the instructions are easy to follow, installed by myself in under an hour

  • Hitch Recommendations for a 2015 Chevy Sonic
    If you have a hatchback model of the 2015 Chevy Sonic the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24878 would be the correct hitch to get, if you have a sedan you would want the # C11240 instead. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

  • Ground Clearance After Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2014 Chevy Sonic Hatchback
    Trailer hitch # C11240 is for sedan models of the 2014 Chevy Sonic. For your hatchback I recommend # 24878. With this hitch installed it measures 10 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. That means from the ground to the bottom of the receiver is approximately 8-1/2 inches, which isn't much. None of the customers who have reviewed this hitch have indicated any problems with scraping the ground. this is likely due to the short distance between the hitch and the rear...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation For a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LT Sedan
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11240 is the correct receiver for your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LT Sedan. This class I hitch is rated for 200lbs of tongue weight and towing capacity of 2,000lbs. Be sure to verify your towing capacity with Chevrolet and use the lower of the 2 numbers as a maximum. A Curt Cam Buckle Stabilizing Strap # 18050 is required for hitch mounted accessories such as a Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway # TH934XTR. The strap will provide...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2013 Chevrolet Sonic
    All of the trailer hitches available for the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic are Class I trailer hitches. Most Class I trailer hitch receivers have a tab inside of the receiver to allow only certain accessories to be used with the receiver. This tab is intended to keep accessories from being used that can overload the Class I hitch. I have attached a help article on trailer hitch receiver sizes for you. Curt Class I trailer hitches do not have this tab, however they will require the bike rack, and...

  • Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan
    You are correct, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 24878, that you referenced is designed to fit the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Hatchback and will not fit on your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan. Instead, you will want to look at the Curt Trailer Hitch, # C11240. This is also a class I trailer hitch like the hitch that you referenced, but it is designed to work with the sedan style Sonic.

    If your 2016 Chevy Sonic is a hatchback you would want the Draw-Tite the part # 24878. If you have a sedan you would instead want the Curt part # C11240. I attached install videos for both hitches for you to check out. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670.

  • Does Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2020 Chevy Sonic RS
    Yes, the Curt trailer hitch receiver will indeed fit your 2020 Chevy Sonic with the RS package! The only thing to note is that there are two different fits, depending on if your Sonic is a hatchback or sedan: - Hatchback: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11464 - Sedan: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11240 Both will fit the RS package without issue so you're all set!

  • What Type of Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Fits a 2012 Chevy Sonic with a Class I Trailer Hitch
    First, please note that Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24878 fits the 2012 Chevy Sonic Hatchback models, but not sedans. If you have a sedan, use # C11240. In both cases, these are Class I trailer hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. They will accept a 1-1/4 inch shank on a bike rack. However, the bike rack must be compatible with a Class I hitch. Not all bike racks that fit a 1-1/4 inch receiver will fit in a Class I trailer hitch. This is so you do not accidentally overload the hitch and damage...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch to Carry Bike Rack on 2015 Chevrolet Sonic
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2015 Chevy Sonic LT sedan is the Curt hitch # C11240. The hitch has an easy bolt on installation. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation and a link to the installation instructions for you. The hitches for the Sonic are Class I hitches and all have a 1-1/4 inch receiver so you will be limited to carry two bikes.

  • Trailer Hitch and WIring Recommendations for a 2014 Chevy Sonic Sedan
    Yes, Curt trailer hitch # C11240 will fit your 2014 Chevy Sonic sedan. I have linked a video to the right showing installation of the trailer hitch for you. If you plan on using the hitch for a bike rack or cargo carrier please make sure that the accessory is rated for a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with bike racks or cargo carriers Curt requires the use of stabilization strap # 18050 when using those items or any non-trailer load in the hitch.

  • Can 2014 Chevrolet Sonic Handle the Yakima # Y62VR Hitch Mounted Enclosed Cargo Carrier
    The trailer hitches we offer for your 2014 Chevrolet Sonic are all Class l hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, like the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11240. A note from Curt states that all non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. All of the Sonic hitches state they have a 200 lb tongue weight capacity, but that rating...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan
    In my opinion, a hitch mounted bike rack is always the best way to go especially since you mention having a problem with a trunk mounted bike rack in the past. Hitch bike racks offer the most protection for the vehicle by carrying bikes out and away from the vehicle, make bikes much easier to load, and can be used on most vehicles with a hitch. If your 2012 Chevrolet Sonic isn't already equipped with a hitch, I recommend going with the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11240. This...

  • Recommended Hitch Receiver And Bike Rack For 2014 Chevy Sonic
    For your 2014 Chevy Sonic, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class I - 1-1/4" # C11240 if you have a sedan. If you have a hatchback, I recommend the Draw-Tite # 24878. These options are both easy bolt on applications. The Curt hitch requires a support strap # 18050. For a bike rack, I recommend the Swagman XTC-2 2-Bike Platform Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Trailer Hitches # S64670. This is an adjustable bike rack that will allow many styles and sizes without adapters....

You will not need the drawbar for a bike rack or cargo carrier however, you will need to purchase the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part # 18050 as this is a requirement for all Class I & II Curt trailer hitches. The support strap is designed to stabilize the rear bike rack or cargo carrier while in use. If...
