Installing Draw-Tite Class II Hitch Part # 36187 on 1992 Buick Century
You are in luck! No drilling is required, nor do you have to remove the bumper. The hitch uses existing nuts welded into your frame. With an older vehicle such as yours, there is probably a fair amount of corrosion and road grime built up in there. To prevent breaking these nuts loose from the frame, you will have to make sure they are nice and clean before installing the bolts. We recommend soaking the weld nuts with a spray lubricant like WD-40 and scrubbing them with a wire brush. We...

Trailer Hitch and 1-1/4 to 2 Inch Expander for a 2001 Buick Century
All of the trailer hitches for your 2001 Buick Century have 1-1/4 inch receivers including # 36374. But what you can do is use an expander, # HTAD. It fits into the 1-1/4 inch receiver and has a 2 inch receiver on the other end. The only thing about this is by using the expander the tongue weight capacity of the hitch will be reduced by 50 percent. So on hitch # 36374 the regular tongue weight capacity is 300 pounds. By using the expander that capacity is reduced to 150 pounds.

Are Aftermarket Transmission Coolers Less Expensive Than a New Radiator
While an aftermarket transmission cooler such as the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets - Class III - Efficient # D13502 is definitely less expensive than a brand new radiator, I cannot recommend this as a quality alternative to repairing a leaking radiator - you should definitely get that fixed.

Can 1992 Buick Century Tow a Trailer
I could not find an online owner's manual for a 1992 Buick Century but I was able to find one for a 1993 model year and on page 176 it states that the '93 CAN tow a trailer. I attached that page from the 1993 owner's manual.

Both model years are within the same generation of the car so chances are they could share...
