Most Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Chevy Equinox
Question:
Looking for a trailer hitch for my new 2016 Chevy Equinox LT V6 engine. Looking for something that is the least exposed for looks as well as getting the best hitch for doing the job. What do you recommend. I see some hitches say they are exposed and looking for something that doesnt show as much as possible.

Expert Reply:
I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Class III - 2", # e98865. This trailer hitch receiver is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and has a nice clean look that isn't very exposed.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118494
Ball mount, part # D-4
Trailer ball, # 19260 for 1-7/8 or # 63845 for 2 inch
Hitch pin # PC3
Locking hitch pin # e98882
