I think this hitch should be designed with 2 pre drilled holes for you to be able to mount your wiring....if you purchase the wiring harness and the bracket you have no way to mount it except for a few zip ties and one crummy self tapping screw that will more then likely break....great job curt....I hate your product... it was not designed for an easy install of your very own wiring....and yes I know that you can buy the no drill one but I would prefer to just have pre drilled holes....make your product designed for your brackets if your going to make them as well.
by: George C03/30/2024
I installed this myself. The Video on YouTube was spot on. My recommendation to anyone installing on a travers is wear gloves when you are working around the muffler heat shields. Got me twice before I gloved up. My bad. But a very good product from etrailer. Ordered on a Sunday and had it on Wednesday.

Relatively easy to install, instruction video did not mention it but to fish the bolt through the rear hole its so easy if you shine a flashlight through the hole the fish wire goes through then you can see the hole to put the wire through. Good heavy duty quality hitch..
by: Todd04/07/2024
The back hole was not aligned to my cars hole by .5 to .75”. I had to dremel out my cars hole longer for the bolt to go through. That was a pain.
But otherwise, seemed very good quality

I chose this hitch over the cheaper Draw-Tite hitch for my 2019 Buick Enclave because it's made in the US and because of the Curt reputation. However, the Draw-Tite hitch comes with a mounting tab for the electrical connector; had I realized that when I ordered I probably would have gone with the Draw-Tite hitch. My installation used the Tekonsha T-One harness (PK12711U), the Pollak 7-pole mounting bracket (Mounting Bracket) and the short no-drill mount (18140).
When installing this hitch, I recommend having the following tools handy in addition to standard hand tools: An impact wrench, a die grinder with a carbide burr, and a metal scribe. The front mounting bolts will tend to spin if you try to tighten their nuts by hand, but an impact wrench makes it easy to tighen (and if necessary, loosen) the nuts. The scribe and die grinder will be needed if your hitch doesn't quite line up with the holes in the vehicle frame.
The installation instructions are bit misleading. They say to install all the mounting bolts with the exhaust hangers in place, but it is nearly impossible to install the front mounting bolts with the exhaust in place. Instead, leave the exhaust hangers off and install all the bolts. Then remove the exhaust hanger bolts and re-install them with the hangers in place.
The holes for the front mounting bolts didn't line up with the factory holes on my 2019 Enclave. What I had to do was to tighten the rear mounting bolts and then scribe the locations of the factory holes on the hitch. I then removed the hitch and enlarged the holes using a die grinder with a carbide burr. The hitch seems to be mild steel and is easily machined with a die grinder. I've included a picture of the hitch after scribing the hole locations and then after enlarging the holes.
I recommend using a flat trailer harness if you don't need the 7-way harness. There's not a lot of room inside the fascia close-out for the 7-way connector. I was able to fit it all in by reversing the Pollak bracket on the short mount. I've included a picture of how I assembled the harness connector, bracket and mount. It was also necessary to bend the bracket and rotate the connector 90 degrees to get everything to fit inside the fascia close-out.

Exactly as advertised. Used Etrailer's video to install. Very satisfied
by: Mark08/13/2023
I really loved the look of the hitch and its construction . But was not impressed with trying to make fine alterations to make it work. for the price the fit should have been better. meatal hose clamp and zip ties for mounting wiring. Not impressed. the installation video is what sold me.
by: Kevin 08/31/2023
This is my second Curt hitch install. Good price. Good instructions. Excellent fit. Very happy with this purchase!
by: Kyler08/09/2021
2020 Chevrolet Traverse
Install was straight forward, however, there was a major fitment issue. First, the two tongues that are supposed to slide into the slots on the car were too narrow. I had to fight to get them to even go in. Then, when I went to fish the lag bolts that lock that tongue part down, the holes did not line up. I was only able to install and tighten one bolt on each tongue. Serious fitment issues.
That said, I was able to install (not correctly) and it will get the job done for what I need. I am not pulling a trailer. Just using a hitch mounted bike rack.

Heavy duty, seems to have a very heavy black finish

I had to make a couple adjustments to get all the bolts to line up, I wasn’t expecting that Curt hitches always fit perfectly. I guess everyone can have a off day.

Welds look good fits great. Comes with all hardware needed to install. Only issue was the back two bolts. You have to modify receiver or vehicle to make fit but it does say that in the instructions. Package arrived on time.

This is a great product, very easy to install after watching the video provided by e-trailer. We did it step by step as in the video, took us less then 2 hours.

2020 Chevrolet Traverse
So easy to install, the hitch was a perfect fit for the 2020 Chevrolet Traverse. the videos were very detailed. Tips for the DIY out there. do not tighten bolts and nuts until you have all of them in place, I actually did and then the bolts for the muffler hanger did not fit, so I had to loosen the bolts and install all of them in place. I installed the bolts for the muffler hanger without installing the hanger. then I tightened the nuts between the muffler and the bottom of the vehicle. then I remove the bolts for the hanger and installed the hanger.
by: Leonardo08/29/2023
Fit just as described.. very easy to install with instructional videos from etrailer.com
by: Charles 10/23/2021
Another great price, excellent service, fast delivery etrailer order completed. A few points and words to the wise:
You will likely need to egg-out at least one mounting hole on the hitch, GM is installing one or more bumper studs crooked for some reason (2021 Traverse had one stud at a 10 degree angle while the other three were straight as an arrow). It's not a problem if you have a die grinder with a carbide burr, takes literally two minutes to make it work. The hitch is made correctly, the car is made wrong. Use caution while installing hardware in the area of the exhaust heat shields. This material is as sharp as a razor, expect to get cut and scraped if working in short sleeves. I suggest long sleeved shirt or Kevlar sleeve to avoid injury (again, an issue with the car, not the hitch). Third point- There is a problem with some Curt hardware, this install I had one of the 1/2-13 nuts start to strip, I had to use locally obtained nut to complete the install. This is the second Curt hitch install where I have had problems with the hardware fatiguing well before the torque value stated in the instructions.Tighten in stages and STOP if it suddenly takes alot less effort to tighten (not stripping out) Cheap China hardware on a USA hitch?

Great hitch at a great price. Installation instructions were clear and precise. I wouldn't recommend trying to install it yourself if you aren't mechanically inclined or car savvy.

by: Ed04/26/2023
Trailer hitch was broken thru the packaging and left outside in the rain by delivery company. I have not opened it yet to determine if the hardware is still in the box. The package was also left outside our garage door rather than placing it on the porch. By sheer luck I did not back over it coming out of the garage
by: Justin 04/22/2023
Went on great. Having a video for my exact application was extremely helpful. I just wish they incorporated the mount for the wiring right into the hitch

- Aftermarket Tow Package Recommendation for 2020 Chevy Traverse Instead of OEM GM PackageWe have an OEM style of hitch solution for your 2020 Chevy Traverse that is going to cost much less than a dealer option and will be just as strong with the Curt hitch part # CU29FR. This hitch hides behind the access panel of your rear fascia just like the OEM hitch does and has plenty of towing capacities. I attached an install video for you to check out too. For trailer wiring then you'd want the OEM style 7-way part # 118287 which easily installs by simply plugging into a port at...

These hitches are very similar except for their finishes. The Curt has a traditional glossy finish and the etrailer hitch has the modern matte black finish. Both of these hitch receivers can be covered by the knockout panel when not in use. I have attached...

view full answer... - Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Chevy TraverseThe Curt hitch part # CU29FR that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Chevy Traverse and will work well for you but will require you to order trailer wiring separately. For that you'd want the T-One kit part # 118761 for a 4-way or part # 118287 for a 7-way. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...

This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you are needing this hitch to tow, you can round out a tow package by picking up the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118761 to provide a 4-way connector...
view full answer... - Is the Curt Trailer Hitch CU29FR A Good Option For 2020 Chevy TraverseI recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # CU29FR for the 2020 Chevy Traverse because it provides the great clearance for bike racks and cargo carriers. It sits high on the vehicle so your accessories are less likely to scrape the ground. It is also a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch that is visible once installed is the receiver square for a clean OEM look. The only disadvantage is the install is more involved than the other options because the cross...

- Correct Wiring Harness Bracket to Install 4-Pole on 2020 Chevy TraverseThe Curt Class III hitch, part # CU29FR and the Tekonsha # 118761 are both excellent choices. For the 4 pole, you'll need part # 18144. The mounting hardware is included.
view full answer... - Complete Towing Setup For A 2022 Chevrolet Traverse Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR does fit your 2022 Chevrolet Traverse. This hitch has a maximum towing capacity 5,000-lbs and a maximum tongue weight capacity of 750-lbs. I recommend that you check your owners manual, and refer to your vehicles maximum towing capacity, and compare that number to the hitch and use the lowest rating between the two. If you want a complete towing setup, you'll also need wiring # C56394 and a ball mount # C45030.
view full answer... - Aftermarket Towing Package For 2021 Chevrolet Traverse Rather Than Having OEM Tow Package InstalledYes, first there is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # CU29FR. This receiver will install behind the bumper cover where the factory cut out is for their receiver. It will replace your existing bumper beam so you will have to temporarily remove the bumper cover to install. I have linked an installation video below that will show you the installation process. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118287 will give you a 7-way connection that plugs directly into the factory connector....

Therefore, there will be no signs a hitch is present with this cover installed as no other part of it is visible from the rear of the vehicle. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver is a great option to as it does not require any cutting or drilling for installation. I have personally installed this trailer hitch myself and can confirm the above and assure...

- Can I Use the Curt Dual Hitch Adapter on my 2020 Chevy Traverse to Pull Camper and Haul BikesI have a solution for you, but the problem with using any type of hitch extender like the Curt Dual Hitch Adapter # D-192 is that they reduce the tongue weight of the hitch by 50%. It looks like the tongue weight capacity of the hitch that you've found is going to be 500-lbs, so using the # D-192 would bring it down to 250-lbs total. If you're carrying 160-lbs of bikes and rack, plus the tongue weight of the trailer, you're going to be over the tongue weight capacity. Instead of using...

I do recommend going with the shorter bracket for this, the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket - Short # 18140 with the 7-Way Mounting Bracket # PK12711U. When plugging the 7-way into the factory socket of your Traverse, you will want...

It will simply plug into a harness under your vehicle and that's all there is to it.

Not only will this be quite a bit less expensive, these will tend to be longer lived than what comes from the factory as they are specifically built to last. Having a towing package also does not mean the vehicle can tow more than non-towing models, so I say save the money. Especially since the American made Curt # CU29FR hitch will...

While the Traverse is not our primary trailer hauler, the hitch has worked perfectly with small single axle trailers and has been used on a few occasions to put our boat in and out of the lake. Due to the location of the hitch, the Traverse needs a drawbar with most small trailers. The adjustable type is what we use. Works great. Still amazed that the Chevy dealer wanted $700 to install a hitch. Its a simple task and can be done in a couple hours on a Saturday.
