  • The Draw Tite trailer hitch part # 24767 that is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Cadillac CTS and has the towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer and 200 lbs tongue weight. Most Jet Ski trailers weigh less than that so as long as the vehicle has the needed capacity as well you this will work.

  • Will MagnaFlow Performance Muffler # MF11226 Fit 2012 Cadillac CTS
  • The MagnaFlow Performance Muffler # MF11226 referenced in your question is a universal item so it isn't vehicle specific. In order to confirm if this will fit your 2012 Cadillac CTS Coupe without adding a reducer or expander you will just want to measure the inlets and outlets on your existing exhaust system. Both the inlet and outlet on this muffler have a 2-1/2 inch diameter. Its overall dimensions are 4 inches tall, 9 inches wide, and 20 inches long.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2010 Cadillac CTS
  • The location and visibility of a trailer hitch on your 2010 Cadillac CTS will be almost identical between Curt, # C11307 and Draw-Tite, # 24767. Each of these trailer hitches use the same mounting location and have practically the same dimensions. For an exact measurement, the end of the receiver from the Curt hitch will actually sit 1/8 of an inch closer to the rear edge of the bumper. As far as aesthetics are concerned, I agree that the Curt hitch has a more pleasing design. We have...

  • Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2012 Cadillac CTS SportWagon
  • The 2012 Cadillac CTS wagon requires a different trailer wiring harness than does the sedan. You would use either # C59236 or # 46255 for the wagon model. Installation will not be quite the same because these are hardwire installations and you will need to use a circuit tester to find the functions of the wiring behind the tail lights. I have included links to the installation instructions for these harnesses for you to view.

  • Correct Ball Mount for Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 11307 on 2010 Cadillac CTS Sedan
  • For a Class I hitch that fits your 2010 Cadillac CTS such as the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11307, the hitch manufacturer specifies the exact ball mount that you will need to use with the hitch. For this hitch, the one that Curt specifies will be plenty long enough at 11-1/4 inches long, the Curt Drawbar # C45522. With this ball mount you will also need the Pin and Clip # C21410 and a hitch ball (which depends on the size of your trailer's coupler), either 1-7/8" Hitch Ball # C40001...

If you plan on towing, you can use the # C56044 for wiring. This will give you a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights.

  • Will Hopkins Backup Alert Fit a 2013 Cadillac CTS, 2002 Chevy Avalanche, and 2007 Saturn Aura
  • I have great news! The Hopkins backup sensor system, # HM60100VA, is not vehicle specific so you can use it on the 2013 Cadillac CTS, 2002 Chevy Avalanche, and 2007 Saturn Aura. You would need one for each vehicle though. It wires into a reverse light wire on a vehicle to provide power to the sensors. Once an object is in range it will start beeping. Beeping gets more rapid the closer you get to an object in range of the sensors.

  • Trailer Hitch to Fit 2014 Cadillac CTS VSport
  • I verified with Curt that the #C11900 trailer hitch does fit all 4-door Sedan models of the 2014 Cadillac CTS including the CTS Vsport. I also recommending checking your Cadillac's owner's manual for any restrictions on adding a trailer hitch. I wasn't able to find anything specific on your vehicle but I have seen on some model years of the CTS-V that towing is not recommended from GM so taking a look at your Vsport's printed manual is probably a good idea.

  • 2014 Cadillac CTS Coupe Trailer Hitch and e-Bike Rack Recommendations
  • As long as your 2014 Cadillac CTS isn't the CTS-V model you can install the Curt Class I Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11196 on your Coupe for use with a bike rack. Then for a bike rack I recommend checking out the Inno Tire Hold # INH110 which is a 1-bike rack that can hold up to a 60 lb bike and secures it by the front and rear tires. This will work great if your bike either doesn't have fenders or if it has smaller fenders that these clamps won't come into contact with. Attached is a review...
