Hitch looks like decent construction for a class one bolted on perfect. If your car doesnt have the exhaust heat shield it literally takes less than 5 minutes to put the bolts in and torque of them to spec, if you have the tools. Good buy made in the USA and will haul my bikes. Paid extra for the 3 day shipping for the hitch and my new bike rack both shipped out promptly that day 3 days later it was here.

This is the second Curt I have installed on a Cruze. It is a well made product. Installation on my 2012 Cruze ECO was easy and took less than an hour.
As always the service from etrailer was great! Why even look anywhere else!

Fairly easy to install. Works great. Barely noticeable, when not in use. Doesn't interfere with clearance. Made in USA & reasonably priced. I highly recomme

Mounted this on my 2014 Chevy Cruze with RS package. Fits perfect! Tucks in close to rear fascia and is hard to notice unless your kneeling or at a distance. Fast shipping from a Great seller!

2014 ChevroletCruze

etrailer.com is one of the best internet sellers! I have purchased several trailer hitches, wiring harnesses and other miscellaneous products over the years, and they are always prompt, courteous and accurate with their information. The hitch I recently purchased arrived on time, and everything I needed was in the box. Following the installation instructions I was able to install the hitch in less than 15 minutes, without help. As always, the fit was perfect and the installation went off without a hitch! Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!



by:

I have had this hitch on the car for a couple of years now and have had 0 issues. Has held up very well. I normally attach a 2 bike rack and have never worried about it falling off. If you are installing yourself make sure to set aside extra time during the install. Installation took 2 hours longer then I had planned.



by:

Etrailers products always exceed my needs. I have used them for my past 3 trailer set ups and will continue to use them. Their customer service is excellent. The trailers hitches are so easy to install too! 10/10 would definitely recommend.



by:
2014 ChevroletCruze

I purchased the C11282 hitch receiver, hitch bar, and wiring kit that all was perfectly matched to the '14 Chevy Cruze. I already installed the package after watching with the concise on-line video instructions. Great product, instructions, easy installation, and rapid standard shipping.

I considered purchasing the hitch package from a local brick and mortar store but decided on etrailer.com to insure all the parts were matched for my car.



by:
2014 ChevroletCruze

Receiver Hitch fit the 2014 Cruze with no modifications. Took about 30 minutes to install. The nifty bolt installation tool (fish wire) was excellent. It is used with a bike carrier and a basket carrier for my brother's fishing gear.



by:
2013ChevroletCruze

The hitch receiver for my Chevy Cruze (C11282) has a nice finish, appears to be very well made, (Nice welds and heavy duty material) is surely a great quality product, which will probably outlast my car! The installation was easy, only took about 20 minutes, and I didn't even have to lower my exhaust as the directions suggested. Very happy with my new hitch receiver and it works great with my bike rack.



by:
2012 Buick Verano

Great product. I didn't have a lift for the car, so fishing the bolts through was a little tough around the muffler. (There was a brace in the way so the muffler didn't drop down to much on my 2012 Verano.) Once that the bolts were fished through though, it only took about 10 minutes to get it bolted on and it looks great. Will definitely tell people looking to buy a hitch about this.



by:
2014 ChevroletCruze

The hitch installed very easily. I used a floor jack to hold it up, after I fished the bolt/plates into the frame. Made it much easier than trying to bench-pressing the hitch while trying to install the nuts... Very well made hitch, will hold my bike rack perfectly!



by:

Built will nice, got it fast and was easy to install. Will order again when I need a hitch

Service was amazing what i wanted is what i got. would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone, very satisfied with my Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver.



by:
2013 Chevy Cruze

Wow! I received the trailer hitch the day after I ordered it. I watched the video on installation. I thought there was no way it could be that easy. My 6 year old daughter and I installed the hitch onto my 2013 Chevy Cruise. I timed it and it took 8:32. In less that ten minutes I drove it off my wheel ramps. Amazing.



by:
2013ChevroletCruze

Product arrived in a timely manner. The instructions were simple to follow and when I needed help I was very happy to not have my call answered by a machine. They picked up in one ring! Very happy with the overall service and product!

Perfect! No complaints here!



by:
2011 ChevroletCruze

Took me 10 minutes to install on my 2011 Cruze Eco. I didn't even need to jack the car up. The cross member is completely hidden by the bumper. It's a very stealth design. Super fast shipping, had it in 2 days. I highly recommend etrailer and Curt hitches. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.



by:
2015 ChevroletCruze

I purchased this trailer hitch for my 2014 Chevy Cruze. The instructions claimed the installation time would take 15 minutes, and they were not lying. Could not have been easier. Definitely recommend!

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch

  • Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevy Cruze To Carry Power Chair
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11282 because you have an extra 3/4" ground clearance compared to the other option for the Chevy Cruze. This is important when carrying a cargo carrier because they are less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations. The only hitches available for your vehicle at this time are Class I hitches so they are not rated for a lot of tongue weight and the wheelchair carrier and wheelchair are both considered tongue weight...

  • Hidden Curt Hitch that Fits 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ
    The Curt hitch part # C11282 does fit your 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ and would work great. We also have the Draw Tite part # 24882 which also is a fit and made by a different company so it has a slightly different design. Either hitch would work great but if it were me I would go with the Curt as we generally have the best luck with their hitches in terms of quality and performance.

  • Can a 2013 Buick Verano Carry a Hoveround Scooter on a Trailer Hitch
    If by pulling it you mean towing the Hoveround on a trailer then your 2013 Buick Verano could handle that. But if you mean having the Hoveround on a hitch-mounted carrier and off the ground then it depends. Both of the trailer hitches that fit your Verano ( # 24882 and # C11282) are Class I hitches with a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. Tongue weight capacity is the amount of weight that can be suspended from the receiver. So the combined weight of your Hoveround and the carrier...

  • Difference Between Curt Hitches that Fit 2015 Chevy Cruze C11282 and C11425
    There are some subtle differences between Curt trailer hitches # C11282 and # C11425. The receiver is longer on # C11425 so it stick out further and they don't have all the same vehicle fits. Hitch # C11282 fits the 2011 to 2015 Cruze excluding diesels models, 2016 Cruze Limited models, and the 2012 to 2017 Buick Verano excluding turbo and dual exhaust models. Hitch # C11425 fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited models and 2015 Chevrolet Cruze models except for the diesel models. If it were...

  • Which Trailer Hitch Is Recommended For A 2013 Chevy Cruze
    The 3 trailer hitches we currently offer are Class-I rated and will fit your 2013 Chevy Cruze. Unfortunately, Class-II trailer hitches are not a fit for your 2013 Chevy Cruze. At the moment, the most popular trailer hitch is the Curt # C11282. It is custom fit for your Cruze and has a maximum gross trailer weight of 2,000 pounds and maximum tongue weight of 200 pounds. I also included a link showing all 3 custom fit trailer hitches too. If you will be doing some light duty towing with...

  • Does the Curt Hitch part # C112821 Come with All Necessary Installation Hardware
    The Curt Hitch part # C11282 that you referenced comes with everything needed to install the hitch on your 2013 Chevy Cruze. It comes with 4 square hole spacers, 4 carriage bolts, 4 flange nuts and a 7/16 inch pull wire. I attached installation instructions plus an install video for you to check out also. This hitch comes with a ball mount and ball plus a pin and clip, so to complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56214.

  • Can the Yakima HoldUp EVO be Used with Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy Cruze
    The Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02480 is an excellent bike rack that I believe you'd be happy with but I do have to say that it is 50 lbs. When I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Chevy Cruze it stated that the max trailer weight for your vehicle is 1,000 lbs and that the max tongue weight is 10% of that (100 lbs). So even if you're using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11282 which has a 200 lb tongue weight rating, you are limited to the 100 lbs. If your bikes don't weigh...

We'll use that dimension when recommending a cargo carrier that will work for you. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this measurement is taken.

  • Compatibility of Curt Class I Receiver # C11282 on 2012 Chevy Cruze with RS Package
    According to Curt Manufacturing, the # C11282 is compatible with all models of the Chevy Cruze, including those equipped with the RS package. If you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, keep in mind that the warranty requirements of the hitch require that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required. The Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24882 has no such requirement, which is why I would recommend it over the Curt model. I have linked you to installation instructions...

  • Recommendation for Small Trailer to Haul Furniture with 2014 Chevy Cruze
    A small utility trailer like the K2 Mighty Multi A-Frame # K2MMT5X7 that we offer would be a great choice for you. The trailer weighs around 450 bs, which would leave lots of capacity available for cargo. The trailer is extremely versatile, with removable sides and a folding front and rear tailgate for tons of carrying options. The Curt # C11282 hitch you'd looked at would work perfectly, and for a wiring harness I'd recommend # 118508.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for 2013 Buick Verano
    If you do not have the Turbo and Dual Exhaust models I would go with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282 mainly because according to our website the install difficulty is easier on this one than the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. They both have the receiver opening of 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" and the weight rating of 200lbs TW and 2000lbs GTW. You will also need the Draw-Tite Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitches # 3593 rated at 2000lbs and the Pin and Clip # PC2. If you are looking for a hitch...

  • Are There Any 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers Available For A 2012 Chevy Cruze
    Unfortunately, the only trailer hitch receivers that our vendors currently offer for a 2012 Chevy Cruze are Class 1, which only come with a 1-1/4" receiver tube like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. You be able to haul a bike on the Cruze you would need to either switch to truck mount style rack, like the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634, or use a bike rack designed for a 1-1/4" receiver tube.

  • Will the Thule OutWay Fit a 2011 Chevy Cruze
    According to our friends at Thule, the OutWay 3 Bike Rack, part # TH56BV is a fit for your 2011 Cruze. The attachment hooks on the OutWay are completely coated in soft plastic, and if adjusted and installed correctly will not further scratch the finish on your vehicle. For ease and speed of installation and removal, the Raceway is the best trunk-mounted bike rack we offer. When installing the rack, Thule specifically states that the bottom mounting hooks need to attach to the metal bumper...

  • Curt or Draw Tite Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Chevy Cruze
    The mounting brackets of the Curt Hitch part # C11282 are much bigger than the Draw Tite hitch part # 24882. That is the weight difference. If it were me I would go with the Draw Tite. It has a better price, the same capacities, doesn't require a stabilizer strap like the Curt does with non-supported loads, but also because the lighter weight will make it easier to install. For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56214, for a ball mount part # 3593, and then for hitch balls part...

  • Hitch Installation on 2013 Chevrolet Cruze and Use of Hitch-Mount Bike Rack
    Three hitches are offered for your 2013 Chevrolet Cruze, including the Curt # C11282 that you referenced. All are light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I types that can carry up to 2 bikes (no matter what the bike rack's capacity is). All will install in an essentially identical manner since they all will use the same mounting points on your Cruze's frame. The link provided will show you all three. Two of these, the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch models, are both made by the same company, Cequent Performance...

With this hitch you can install a Class I rated hitch mounted bike rack, but you will also need to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050.

    Yes, the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56288 does come with the necessary wire to run a hot lead to the battery of your 2014 Buick Verano, so you will not need anything else to install a 4-way. I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt Wiring Harness # C56288. I do recommend adding Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector; using it will increase your 4-way's durability...

In fact, we have a customer review that was sent in where they installed the Draw-Tite hitch on their ECO model and it took them about 30 minutes! Out of both options I recommend using the Curt hitch # C11282 for your application. Although you need to use a Support Strap # 18050 for all non-trailer loads, it does not have a weld stop in the hitch...

  • Advisability On Using Extensions With a Tow Bar
    Although it would seem like an ideal way to carry the items you wish to carry, I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and they told me that they strongly advise against adding additional extenders to the hitch. Adding the reducer on your receiver does not reduce the towing capacity, but the double receiver does. Normally, adding extensions to your receiver reduces the towing capacity by 50%. Adding an additional extension would certainly reduce the towing capacity by another 50%. With that...

The difference is in the drop of the # C11371 for diesel models is 5-1/4 inches for exhaust clearance compared to the drop of the # C11282 being 3.88 inches from the mount to the top of the receiver tube according to my contact at Curt.
