Your Sonic has a maximum tow rating of 2000 pounds. I checked the Chariot website and reviewed weight capacity for a single-motorcycle trailer, and the CS-9 model has a body load rating of 1575 lbs. All hitch receivers offered for your vehicle are rated at 2000 pounds. So in this case the overall towing weight limit is the lowest of the three, the 1575 pound trailer rating. You will still want to check the rating for your particular trailer.
Given this, moving to Load Range C tires will... view full answer...
Trailer hitch # C11240 is for sedan models of the 2014 Chevy Sonic. For your hatchback I recommend # 24878.

The Draw Tite hitch part # 24850 that you referenced has the towing capacities of 2,000 lbs total trailer and 200 lbs tongue weight.

Check the owners manual of the vehicle to determine the towing capacities. view full answer...
