This fully welded, corrosion-resistant Chevrolet Cruze trailer hitch receiver is perfect for your light-duty towing needs. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. Drawbar sold separately.
Features:
Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

It has worked great. Thank you for asking.
Ordered the hitch to fit my exact car . Hitch came in a few days as stated . Was as easy as the video demonstrated to install . Will definitely order from etrailer again.

It’s perfect !! It has worked exactly as it was intended. Great purchase.
As other reviewers said, this hitch attaches with no difficulty. Perfect fit and was mounted in short time (maybe 15 minutes after I cleaned some road dirt out of the frame attachment bolt locations). As you might expect for a car that rides this low, the hitch receiver ends up pretty close to the ground, about 9 inches, (see photo). That makes my utility trailer ride a little low in the front, but quite usable. I tried not to use more hitch offset than was recommended.
Delivery was timely and installation was easy. I'm using the hitch for my bike rack which this hitch is perfect for. Everything fits perfectly.
Really nice quality unit, easy to install fits perfectly and has held up nicely
This is my 4th trailer hitch I’ve bought from etrailer and as always I am completely satisfied. Whether it’s been for a sedan, suv or truck the fit has always been perfect and the instructions exact and clear. And if you need more they have a lot of resources on the website. The only place to buy a hitch.
The Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver part # 24882 was a good fit for my 2016 Chevy Cruze LT (Limited). The 2015 Chevy Cruze "how to install" video on the etrailer.com website was very applicable for my 2016 Cruze. The installation was easy using 2 people.
This hitch was super easy to install and has worked great. I used it to tow my trailer behind my Cruze from Alaska to Arizona then Florida before ending in Ohio. It was around 8000 miles and worked flawlessly.
It was easy to install, they provided all four fishing springs for fishing bolts thru frame. Made installation easy by myself. I’m a z75 year old retiree.
Installed the Draw Tite 24882 on a 2011 Chevy Cruz Eco in about 30 minutes. I have had a Thule 2 bike carrier for 10 years. It fits into a small reciever hitch.This is the third car it's been on. Took the bike to the trails already. No problems. I would note that the Cruz Eco sits low. The front end will bottom out on steep ramps or inclines. I have to cross them slow and sometimes at a 45% angle. This hitch doesn't seem like it would bottom out but the bike carrier might since it sticks out a bit. I haven't had that problem but I may throw the carrier in the trunk if I need to go up or down a steep ramp or driveway.

One year later I am still satisfied with this hitch. I have managed to hit the bottom of the bike rake on the ground when driving down a steep ramp onto a level road. If I make the transition at an angle there is no problem. Without the bike carrier it never bottoms out.
Although I have not attached the bike rack yet, the hitch itself was very simply to install; I did it myself in the parking lot of my apartment complex. The videos on etrailer are extremely helpful with the installation process; without them I wouldn't have attempted to install it on my own. The printed directions that came with the hitch were, in my opinion, written for the Buick Verano because I did not have to lower my exhaust or cut the heat shield on my Chevy Cruze, which obviously made installing the hitch much easier and quicker. I would definitely recommend this hitch as well as a review of the installation videos available on etrailer.

If I had known then what I know now, I still would have bought the same hitch. Im very happy with it.Thanks!
This hitch saved me from having to buy a $40,000.00 or $50,000.00 truck.
I never need to carry very much weight but I do need to carry things that are too big for my car. Using a utility trailer does the job perfectly.
Looks good.
Hitch hangs low to the ground line of the car. Depending on grade and what you install, it may rub on the ground. with a 4 bike kuat bike rack, the rack will touch of on the ground.

Rob,Thank you for your review. We normally do not recommend a 4 bike rack on a class 1 hitch. This hitch can handle up to 200 lb of tongue weight and the force of 4 bikes plus the weight of the rack may exceed that. We do recommend to carry only 2 bikes on the class 1 hitch. The 2 bikes should be closest to the vehicle. This may help with the bike rack rubbing the ground.
Really impressed with the entire purchase process; from the easy-to-use and informative website, to the quick delivery, and the simple install. Everything was a great experience.

Love it! Used frequently. Very sturdy.
It went on my Diesel Chevy Cruze hassle free! It is well built and the shipping was fast! I am towing a small motorcycle trailer and it has handled to great! I would recommend this product to anyone in the market.

Ted, we have a 2014 diesel chevy cruz and the def tank seems to be in the way of mounting the hitch. Did you have that problem? If so, how did you mount it?

have you noticed any issues towing the small motorcycle trailer with it? and do you happen to know the weight?
Very well made sturdy hitch. Much more than I expected from a class 1. The installation videos on the website were very valuable in making my choice. Very pleased with the product and fantastic service.
Fit perfectly on my 2012 chevy cruise
No complaints, the trailer hitch was easy to install. I did it myself in my driveway in about half an hour with no prior knowledge. In hindsight I wish I would have gotten a wiring harness on the same order, I didn't realize until I actually went to hook up a small trailer that it was not standard on my vehicle. Maybe this could be mentioned in the description
Great product, tucks in well under bumper, you can barely see it, easy installation on my 2014 chevrolet cruze RS and the product looks well made. Thanks Etrailer!
Great product!! Was delivered within days of ordering -- the e-trailer on-line video was extremely helpful for the installation (way better than just the written directions / photos). My 15 year old son and I put it on our 2012 Chevy Cruze LT in a little under an hour from unpacking, to installation, to recycling the box in which it was mailed, to installing our hitch mounted bike rack, to leaving our house and driving to a nearby single-track with the bikes on the hitch-mounted bike rack.
I bought this for my daughters car. It was an easy installation. She’s been using it for her bike rack nonstop since it went on the car and loves it no issues with it coming loose or anything.
etrailer will definitely be my Go to for hitched and accessories before I shop anywhere else
I have been using a trailer hitch that I purchased on line from etrailer for over a year now. I had a auto body repairman put it on for me and he said that it went well, but had to run a wire up into the engine compartment for the lights. I have used it quite a bit and it is holding up fine. 2012 Chevrolet Cruze.
