Yes, this Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C11298, would be the right hitch to use on your 2002 Saturn L Series. You will need to drill two holes in order to install this hitch onto your vehicle. I attached installation instructions for you to check out also.

As long as the trailer you planned on towing had a tongue capacity that was lower than 200 lbs and had an overall trailer weight that was less than 2,000 lbs this hitch would work.

You should still check the owner's manual of your Saturn to determine what they recommend as towing capacities for your vehicle. When determining what the overall towing capacity of your setup is you should always go with lowest rated component in your towing setup as your overall towing capacity.

This hitch includes all of the necessary hardware to install this product, you will only need to supply the following tools:

3/4 inch wrench
Drill
1/2 inch drill bit
Sealant part # 0160297
