For your 2002 Buick Century, the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36374 is a compatible fit. However, the Curt Hitch # C12225 is not intended for your car and, after consulting with Curt, I have found the Curt hitch you have referenced is also not compatible for your vehicle.
The Draw-Tite Receiver # 36374 is custom fit for your Buick Century and features bolt-on installation with no welding required. It is a 1-1/4 inch Class II receiver with a maximum gross trailer weight of 3500 lbs and a tongue weight of 300 lbs. As a heads up, know that drilling is required during the installation process and your exhaust must be temporarily lowered.
I have included links to the instructions for proper installation of this product on your vehicle as well as a video showing the installation on a 2003 Buick Century. While it is not your model, the installation technique is similar. I have also attached a link to our FAQ page on trailer hitch installation.
