Recommended Hitch for 2012 Buick Regal Turbo That Provides Discrete Appearance on Car
Question:
Im looking for the most stealth trailer hitch for my 2012 Buick Regal Turbo. It looks like the Curt model 12115 is an option. Is there another or better option or is 12115 the best? if so is it relatively hidden? Thx

For a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch with a concealed cross tube for a more discrete appearance on your 2012 Buick Regal Turbo the best option is the Curt # C12115 that you referenced. The linked installation video show the process on a 2011 model year Buick. I also linked the written instructions and a helpful article with tips for an easier hitch installation.
The hitch comes with all required installation hardware and also includes a pin and clip to secure a ball mount for towing or an accessory item like a bike rack.
In this Class II hitch you need to use only compatible Class II accessories. I have linked compatible Class II hitch bike racks as well as cargo carriers in case either of these is in your plans.
If you plan to tow (after checking your owner's manual, of course) you'll need a ball mount, hitch ball and wiring harness. Curt recommends ball mount # C45017 and either 1-7/8-inch hitch ball # 19256 or 2-inch ball # 19258.
