Will the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13380 Fit a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse LT

Question:

Thanks for the rapid reply! I will be towing a small boat roughly 1500LBS, with maybe 100LBS tongue weight as I can easily lift the front end off the ground.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13380 that you referenced will fit all models of the 2018 Chevrolet Traverse including your LT. I confirmed this with my contact at Curt.

This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 5,000 lb Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating and a 750 lb Tongue Weight (TW) rating. When use with a Weight Distribution (WD) system the GTW rating is raised to 7,500 lbs but the 750 lb TW remains the same. You will want to verify the weight ratings of your Traverse as that may be the limiting factor.

If you let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for I can make some recommendations for you.

To set up your Traverse for towing a boat trailer you will also need vehicle wiring, a ball mount with a pin and clip, and a hitch ball. For wiring I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118761 if your boat trailer only has a 4-Way connector or part # 118287 if it has a 7-Way connector. The connector will be located under the rear of your Traverse on the driver's side. One of the most popular ball mounts that we have is the Curt Class III Ball Mount # C45036 which has a 2" drop and comes with a 2" diameter hitch ball. It also has a hitch pin and clip to secure the ball mount to your trailer hitch. Since the rise or drop of a ball mount will vary depending on the towing setup I have attached a helpful article to help you determine if this is the correct ball mount for you.
