Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 1999 Buick LeSabre
Question:
Conner, For some reason GM has rated this for for 1000 lbs max towing cap. From what I have read on the blog sites the trans has twice that capacity. Any way I am only towing a 11ft aluminum boat an 10 hp motor so with the trailer maybe 800 lbs max. Do you have a class 1 hitch?

We currently only have one trailer hitch receiver for your 1999 Buick LeSabre which is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36216. This option will give you a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. I have attached an installation video on a similar 1997 Buick LeSabre for you as well.
If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for I would be glad to offer some additional recommendations for you as well.
