The Curt 59190 you have should work as it is designed for vehicles with separate wiring like your 2013 Cadillac XTS, so I recommend double checking the way you have the harness wired.
You will need to use a circuit tester like # PTW2993 to identify the wiring functions of your vehicle.
You will need to identify the following functions on your factory wiring and make the following connections:
Red wire gets connected to the brake light wire
Green wire gets connected to the passenger... view full answer...

This carrier will install on your XTS as follows: place the upper strap hooks at the top edge of the trunk; the lower support frame rests on the lower portion of the license plate, below the numbers; Place the lower strap hooks at the bottom edge of the trunk and the side strap hooks to back side edge of the trunk. view full answer...
The installation difficulty for Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36538 for a 2013 Cadillac XTS is listed as a 5 out of 10. The scale is based on estimated time to install the hitch with each tick on the scale representing 10 minutes. So at a 5 it would take a professional approximately 50 minutes to perform the installation. We usually estimate a novice will take twice as long so that would be 1 hour and 40 minutes.
If you plan on doing some towing the recommended ball mount is # 36061 and it... view full answer...
Trailer hitch receivers to fit your 2013 Cadillac XTS, like the Draw-Tite # 36538, are Class II hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening and have a maximum tongue weight of 350 pounds. So the 200 pound scooter and the carrier it's riding on must all weigh less than 350 pounds.
In addition you want to verify any capacity limitations of your Cadillac. If the vehicle is rated lower you must stay within this. You are limited by the lowest rated component and adding a hitch with a higher... view full answer...
Yes, if you had a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 36538 which is a fit for a 2015 and 2017 Cadillac XTS This hitch would fit and work well.
The install hardware for hitches though is considered one time use so you would need new hardware. For that we have the part # RHK which if you enter your part number and hitch brand on the product page we will ship you out new hardware. view full answer...
The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12115 for your 2014 Cadillac XTS doesn't come with wiring, but you can use the Curt Wiring Kit # C59236 if you want a while Curt setup. The wiring is something that needs to be spliced in, but if you're wanting something that doesn't require splicing then I highly recommend the Tekonsha ZCI # 119250KIT instead.
The ZCI kit clamps around your OEM wiring and essentially "senses" when the different light functions need to be activated and it pulls the power directly... view full answer...
We have not had the opportunity to test fit the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36762 on a 2018 Cadillac XTS and while sometimes the installation manual shows this, since this hitch fits this car as well as some models of Chevy Impala, there is not a photo in the manual either.
I did a cut out from the linked installation instructions which show how the hitch will sit compared to the rear fascia, which should at least help give you an idea of how it will look. This is a Class II hitch with... view full answer...
The Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36538 does indeed make use of existing holes, but the hole used for the forward-most attachment point will need to be enlarged with a 1/2 inch drill bit. The exhaust does not need to be dropped, but one of the exhaust hanger bolts is replaced with a longer bolt.
If you will be towing with your XTS, I would recommend a ball mount like # C45503. You will also need a hitch ball like # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball. To complete... view full answer...
You can use the circuit tester to identify the wires you'll need to connect to the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter # C59236.
Have someone sit in the driver seat and run through the functions while you test the wires at the rear of the vehicle. In the instructions the wires can be found behind the tail light housing on each side of the vehicle. You will then attach the included converter as follows:
Converter Brown Wire: Tail Light Circuit
Converter Yellow Wire: Left Turn Circuit

I have added a cut out of the linked instruction manual which shows how the Mileage Coach works for you. view full answer...
There is a pin available on your RV's 7-way for installing a brake controller but you would need to install a brake controller as that circuit would not be active.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to... view full answer...
The Curt # C12115 is a fit for your 2018 Cadillac XTS, and without knowing anything about the carrier you'd be using, I'm not able to tell you what the vertical clearance would be. However, the issue you're going to run into is that my research tells me that the 2018 Cadillac XTS actually has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 100-lbs; this would mean that carrying 175-lbs on a hitch mounted cargo carrier is not an option. It should also be noted that using an adapter like the # HTAD to... view full answer...
Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36538 is listed as a fit for all styles of the 2015 Cadillac XTS so that will include the VSport model. If you plan on doing some towing the proper ball mount for this hitch is # 36061. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
And for trailer wiring you can use # C59496 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. view full answer...
As long as you've got a roof rack system on your 2017 Cadillac XTS, you can use the SportRack Horizon # SR7016, which fits on virtually any crossbar shape. It doesn't look like the XTS came with anything other than a naked roof (no side rails or factory crossbars), so you may need the "extra supports" you mentioned if those are not present.
If you don't have a roof rack system on your vehicle, you will need to add one. For that I recommend using the Rhino-Rack ROC25 Roof Rack for Naked... view full answer...
I double checked with Draw-Tite and the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36538 you were looking at is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2019 Cadillac XTS Luxury so I do not know why you were told it wouldn't fit.
This hitch will require you to use a 1/2" drill bit to enlarge the rearward hole on vehicle suspension mount to accept the included 1/2" bolt.
I recommend taking your vehicle to a different shop to have it installed.
I included a video of the # 36538 and a link to the written... view full answer...

According to my technical contact at Curt, cutting and/or trimming any of the bumper fascia on your 2013 Cadillac XTS is not required when installing Curt Trailer Hitch # C12115. I have the instructions attached for your reference.
The modification that is required for installation is in step # 3. The rearward hole in the suspension cross needs to be enlarged to 1/2 inch.
My contact also told me that although he does not have an exact measurement, the hitch sits basically flush under... view full answer...
For trailer hitch # C12115 trimming is not required on the 2013 Cadillac XTS. However, you will have to enlarge one hole on the passenger side crossmember to 1/2 inch diameter.
