In order to determine the towing capacities of your 2010 Chevy Aveo I would recommend checking the owners manual of your vehicle for that information. It should be listed there under towing information. If your owners manual says not to tow with your vehicle I can not safely recommend you do so.

The capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11331 that you referenced is1,000 lbs gross trailer weight plus100 lbs tongue weight. This does not mean that your vehicle is capable of these towing capacities, just the hitch. When determining what the overall towing capacity of your setup is you need to go with the lowest rated component as your overall towing capacity. Please note that the # C11331 will only fit your vehicle if it is a Sedan(4 door) and not a Coupe(2 door) model.

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack on…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
