Hitch looks like decent construction for a class one bolted on perfect. If your car doesnt have the exhaust heat shield it literally takes less than 5 minutes to put the bolts in and torque of them to spec, if you have the tools. Good buy made in the USA and will haul my bikes. Paid extra for the 3 day shipping for the hitch and my new bike rack both shipped out promptly that day 3 days later it was here.

This is the second Curt I have installed on a Cruze. It is a well made product. Installation on my 2012 Cruze ECO was easy and took less than an hour.
As always the service from etrailer was great! Why even look anywhere else!

Fairly easy to install. Works great. Barely noticeable, when not in use. Doesn't interfere with clearance. Made in USA & reasonably priced. I highly recomme

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
etrailer.com is one of the best internet sellers! I have purchased several trailer hitches, wiring harnesses and other miscellaneous products over the years, and they are always prompt, courteous and accurate with their information. The hitch I recently purchased arrived on time, and everything I needed was in the box. Following the installation instructions I was able to install the hitch in less than 15 minutes, without help. As always, the fit was perfect and the installation went off without a hitch! Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!
by: Kevin O07/02/2020
I have had this hitch on the car for a couple of years now and have had 0 issues. Has held up very well. I normally attach a 2 bike rack and have never worried about it falling off. If you are installing yourself make sure to set aside extra time during the install. Installation took 2 hours longer then I had planned.

Mounted this on my 2014 Chevy Cruze with RS package. Fits perfect! Tucks in close to rear fascia and is hard to notice unless your kneeling or at a distance. Fast shipping from a Great seller!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
I purchased the C11282 hitch receiver, hitch bar, and wiring kit that all was perfectly matched to the '14 Chevy Cruze. I already installed the package after watching with the concise on-line video instructions. Great product, instructions, easy installation, and rapid standard shipping.
I considered purchasing the hitch package from a local brick and mortar store but decided on etrailer.com to insure all the parts were matched for my car.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze
The hitch receiver for my Chevy Cruze (C11282) has a nice finish, appears to be very well made, (Nice welds and heavy duty material) is surely a great quality product, which will probably outlast my car! The installation was easy, only took about 20 minutes, and I didn't even have to lower my exhaust as the directions suggested. Very happy with my new hitch receiver and it works great with my bike rack.
by: Roger C.09/23/2014
2014 Chevrolet Cruze
The hitch installed very easily. I used a floor jack to hold it up, after I fished the bolt/plates into the frame. Made it much easier than trying to bench-pressing the hitch while trying to install the nuts... Very well made hitch, will hold my bike rack perfectly!
by: Peter12/21/2017
2014 Chevrolet Cruze
Receiver Hitch fit the 2014 Cruze with no modifications. Took about 30 minutes to install. The nifty bolt installation tool (fish wire) was excellent. It is used with a bike carrier and a basket carrier for my brother's fishing gear.
by: Raleigh S.08/10/2017
Etrailers products always exceed my needs. I have used them for my past 3 trailer set ups and will continue to use them. Their customer service is excellent. The trailers hitches are so easy to install too! 10/10 would definitely recommend.
by: henry walkowicz06/30/2014
Built will nice, got it fast and was easy to install. Will order again when I need a hitch

2012 Buick Verano
Great product. I didn't have a lift for the car, so fishing the bolts through was a little tough around the muffler. (There was a brace in the way so the muffler didn't drop down to much on my 2012 Verano.) Once that the bolts were fished through though, it only took about 10 minutes to get it bolted on and it looks great. Will definitely tell people looking to buy a hitch about this.

2014 Chevrolet Cruze
After reviewing the super video for this unit on my car I ordered and installed it with no problems.
A very minor discrepancy was that the printed instructions called for a 3/4" socket but the parts are 7/16" nuts -- no big deal.
This is for a Chevy Cruze and is to be used to carry bikes. The easiest way to handle bikes.
I would definitely go with etrailer.com again.

2013 Chevy Cruze
Wow! I received the trailer hitch the day after I ordered it. I watched the video on installation. I thought there was no way it could be that easy. My 6 year old daughter and I installed the hitch onto my 2013 Chevy Cruise. I timed it and it took 8:32. In less that ten minutes I drove it off my wheel ramps. Amazing.

2011 Chevrolet Cruze
Took me 10 minutes to install on my 2011 Cruze Eco. I didn't even need to jack the car up. The cross member is completely hidden by the bumper. It's a very stealth design. Super fast shipping, had it in 2 days. I highly recommend etrailer and Curt hitches. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Chevrolet Cruze
Second time is the charm. Careful when ordering the trailer hitch for the Chevy Cruze Limited. I discovered the hard way that the bolt pattern for the Cruze Limited is different to that of any other Cruze.
While this is known to those in the know, it is not apparent to buying public. It would be nice if the option would be a mandatory selection when placing an order for the Cruze Limited. This would have avoided costing me an extra.~$35.00 in return shipping costs.

- What Will the Curt Hitch # C11282 Look Like Installed on a 2015 Buick VeranoYes, the cross tube of the Curt Hitch part # C11282 that you referenced will be hidden when installed on a Verano like your 2015 Buick Verano. Check out the picture I attached that shows this hitch installed on a Verano similar to yours.

- What Vehicles Does The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C11282 Off My 2011 Chevy Cruze Fit? The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282 you purchased from us a few years back fits the 2011 - 2015 Chevy Cruse excluding the Diesel models, along with the 2012 - 2017 Buick Verano excluding the Turbo and Dual exhaust models. Keep in mind that the mounting hardware included with the hitch is only designed to be used once, so you will also need the Replacement Hardware Kit # RHK. Just select Curt from the manufacturer menu and then enter 11282 in the hitch item number field. I included...
view full answer... - Will Magna-Flow Aftermarket Exhaust Tips Affect Hitch Fit on 2012 Chevrolet CruzeI do not see any fits for Magna-Flow complete aftermarket exhaust systems offered for your 2012 Chevrolet Cruze so I presume you are referring only to exhaust tips rather than a complete aftermarket exhaust system. The installation of any of the hitch receivers offered for your vehicle should be unaffected by the exhaust tips installed on your Cruze. Many vehicles require for hitch installation temporary lowering of the exhaust to provide better access to the hitch connection points on...
view full answer... - Hitch Installation on 2013 Chevrolet Cruze and Use of Hitch-Mount Bike RackThree hitches are offered for your 2013 Chevrolet Cruze, including the Curt # C11282 that you referenced. All are light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I types that can carry up to 2 bikes (no matter what the bike rack's capacity is). All will install in an essentially identical manner since they all will use the same mounting points on your Cruze's frame. The link provided will show you all three. Two of these, the Draw-Tite and Hidden Hitch models, are both made by the same company, Cequent Performance...
view full answer... - Recommended Hitch for a Mobility Scooter on a Chevy Cruze No, it wouldn't. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11282 has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. Your scooter and rack would need to be under this combined and you're 12 lbs over. If you could remove some weight off of the scooter to get it at or under the 200 lbs capacity this hitch could work. You really don't want to exceed your vehicle's capacity. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C11282 fits the 2011 - 2015 Chevy Cruze. The only other option available is the Draw-Tite item # 24882...
view full answer... - Hidden Curt Hitch that Fits 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZThe Curt hitch part # C11282 does fit your 2015 Chevy Cruze LTZ and would work great. We also have the Draw Tite part # 24882 which also is a fit and made by a different company so it has a slightly different design. Either hitch would work great but if it were me I would go with the Curt as we generally have the best luck with their hitches in terms of quality and performance.
view full answer... - Which Hitch for 2014 Chevy Cruze Has Best Ground ClearanceThe Curt hitch part # C11282 has the ground clearance advantage by 3/4 of an inch. When we installed it on a 2014 Chevy Cruze we found that from the top of the hitch opening to the ground measured 10-3/4 inches and with the Draw Tite part # 24882 the same dimensions was 10 inches.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2012 Chevy CruzeFor your 2012 Chevy Cruze you would need a hitch like the Draw Tite part # 24882. The Chevy Malibus and Cruzes are different enough vehicles that a hitch from one would not fit the other. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - 2 Inch Diameter Ball Recommendation for Curt Trailer Hitch C11282 On a 2012 Chevy CruzeThe ball mount that comes with Curt trailer hitch # C11282 for the 2012 Chevy Cruze has a ball hole diameter of 3/4 inches. For a 2 inch ball use # 19258.
view full answer... - Will The Curt Mulit-Fit Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2015 Buick Verano? For your 2015 Buick Verano I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. This is custom fit for your Verano. The Multi-Fit Receiver # C13900 you found is not listed as an approved fit for any Buick. I have attached a copy of the instructions below for this receiver which lists the vehicles it fits and what holes must be drilled for each vehicle it fits to use. The custom fit receiver above will not require any drilling either making for an easier installation.
view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Kit Availability for a 2016 Chevy CruzeWe have trailer wiring confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Chevy Cruze, but it is a universal kit that will require hardwiring for installation. You would want the part # C59236 which has been confirmed as a fit.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 11282 to # 11371 for 2014 Chevy Cruze FitThe Curt # C11282 for gas models of the Chevy Cruze and # C11371 for diesel models of the Chevy Cruze are identical in the mounting locations. The difference is in the drop of the # C11371 for diesel models is 5-1/4 inches for exhaust clearance compared to the drop of the # C11282 being 3.88 inches from the mount to the top of the receiver tube according to my contact at Curt. The gas model will give you better ground clearance and will only work on the gas model where the diesel model...

We'll use that dimension when recommending a cargo carrier that will work for you. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this measurement is taken. The hitch has a tongue weight capacity of 200 lbs. The hitch-mounted cargo carrier I recommend is the Curt Hitch Cargo Carrier, part #...
view full answer... - Does the Curt Hitch part # C112821 Come with All Necessary Installation HardwareThe Curt Hitch part # C11282 that you referenced comes with everything needed to install the hitch on your 2013 Chevy Cruze. It comes with 4 square hole spacers, 4 carriage bolts, 4 flange nuts and a 7/16 inch pull wire. I attached installation instructions plus an install video for you to check out also. This hitch comes with a ball mount and ball plus a pin and clip, so to complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56214.
view full answer... - Difference Between Curt Hitches that Fit 2015 Chevy Cruze C11282 and C11425There are some subtle differences between Curt trailer hitches # C11282 and # C11425. The receiver is longer on # C11425 so it stick out further and they don't have all the same vehicle fits. Hitch # C11282 fits the 2011 to 2015 Cruze excluding diesels models, 2016 Cruze Limited models, and the 2012 to 2017 Buick Verano excluding turbo and dual exhaust models. Hitch # C11425 fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited models and 2015 Chevrolet Cruze models except for the diesel models. If it were...
view full answer... - Availability of Hitch Installation Video for Curt Hitch # C11282 on 2013 Chevrolet CruzeWe do have an installation video to show you the process of mounting Curt hitch # C11282 on a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The video is linked for you. I also included a helpful article that provides additional tips for an easier installation. The written instructions for the hitch are also linked for you and you can review these to see the list of tools required, which include basic hand tools as well as a torque wrench like # ALL944001.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Hitch Options for 2011 Chevy Cruze Fit ECO ModelBoth the Draw-Tite # 24882 and Curt # C11282 trailer hitches are confirmed to fit all models of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze, including your ECO. In fact, we have a customer review that was sent in where they installed the Draw-Tite hitch on their ECO model and it took them about 30 minutes! Out of both options I recommend using the Curt hitch # C11282 for your application. Although you need to use a Support Strap # 18050 for all non-trailer loads, it does not have a weld stop in the hitch...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Curt Class I Receiver # C11282 on 2012 Chevy Cruze with RS PackageAccording to Curt Manufacturing, the # C11282 is compatible with all models of the Chevy Cruze, including those equipped with the RS package. If you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, keep in mind that the warranty requirements of the hitch require that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required. The Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24882 has no such requirement, which is why I would recommend it over the Curt model. I have linked you to installation instructions...
view full answer... - Curt or Draw Tite Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Buick VeranoFunction wise the Draw Tite part # 24882 is the winner for your 2013 Buick Verano. The reason I say that is that the Curt you mentioned requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack and the Draw Tite does not. So it is the winner in my opinion.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Chevy CruzeThe price difference and the name of the hitches are due to different manufacturers. Since both the Curt option, part # C11282, and the Draw-Tite option, part # 24882, are 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers with a 200 lbs Tongue Weight capacity and 2,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight Capacity they are pretty much the same hitch. I do recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sport Frame # 24882 though (the "Sport" is just part of the name of the hitch) because the Curt warranty requires that a Support...
view full answer... - Bike Rack Clearance Provided by Curt Class I Receiver # C11282 Installed on 2013 Chevy CruzeWhen we installed the Curt # C11282 and the Draw-Tite # 24882 Class I hitches on a 2013 Chevy Cruze, we found that the Curt hitch had a 6-1/4 inch measurement from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. The Draw-Tite was recessed so that the dimension was 3-3/4 inches. To determine if your rack will be compatible, simply measure from the hitch pin hole to the closest obstruction on the rack, be it the upright, the foot of the rack or in the case of a platform...

- Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2014 Buick Verano TurboThere is a hitch available for your 2013 Buick Verano Turbo, check out the Curt Hitch part # C11282. I attached an install video for you to check out. With this hitch you can install a Class I rated hitch mounted bike rack, but you will also need to use a stabilizer strap like part # 18050. I attached a review video for you to check out for this product. The most popular hitch bike rack with other Verano owners is the Thule Doubletrack Bike Rack part # TH990XT.

I have added a link to a video review for you to check out as well of the Curt Wiring Harness # C56288. I do recommend adding Dielectric Grease for Electrical Connectors # 11755 to help prevent any type of corrosion in your connector; using it will increase your 4-way's durability...
