Hitch Recommendation for Towing a Trailer on a 2015 Chevy Impala
Question:
I have a 2015 Chevy Impala 6cyl. I want to attach a mobility scooter trailer with a 120 pound scooter and 65# trailer. Most trailers are 1 1/4 class 1. What hitch can I use?

Expert Reply:
If you have a Class I 1-1/4" compatible trailer, you can use a Class II 1-1/4" hitch receiver. The only difference between the two classes is that the Class II has a greater overall weight capacity than a Class I hitch. I went ahead and attached a helpful chart that shows the differences between these hitch classes.
For a great option to accommodate the trailer on your 2015 Chevy Impala, I recommend the Curt Class II - 1-1/4" # C12115. This hitch not only provides you with 350 pounds of maximum tongue weight and 3,500 pounds of gross towing capacity, it also comes with a higher quality gloss outer coat over the powder coat that provides better protection against rust/corrosion than the competitor Draw-Tite option. It also includes an easy bolt-on installation that only takes about 40 minutes to complete. I went ahead and attached a video of the installation to walk you through the process.
If you need a wiring harness to run the tail lights of the trailer, I recommend the T-One Connector # 118590. This harness comes with a plug-and-play installation and comes with a better converter box than the Curt and Hopkins harnesses.
As with all towing applications, I recommend consulting with your Chevy owner's manual to make sure you abide by all manufacturer towing guidelines.
