Installation of Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2017 Chevy Bolt EV

Question

Question:

Our hitch came with no installation instructions in the box for the 24956 Chevy Bolt, only the yellow Consumer Info Sheet. Can I download the install info or can you send it to me in an email? Many thanks.

For your 2017 Chevy Bolt EV, I have attached the installation details for the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver - Class I # 24956. This includes both written instructions and photos to assist.

If you will be doing some light towing with this hitch receiver, I recommend the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 and the Draw-Tite ball mount # 3593. Then you can use either hitch ball # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball or # 19258 for a 2 inch ball.
