Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy HHR
Question:
Are Curt and Draw-tite the same company? If not, which is the preferred manufacturer? 2011 Chevy HHR
asked by: Ken
Expert Reply:
Curt and Draw Tite are not the same company. Curt is it's own company whereas Draw Tite is made by Cequent which also makes Reese, Hidden Hitch, and Pro Series hitches.
They are all great brands that I would feel comfortable recommending for your 2001 Chevy HHR, but for your vehicle I would go with the Draw Tite part # 24756 since it has the most positive reviews over all of the other hitches available. Plus, if you were to use a non-supported hitch accessory like a bike rack you wouldn't have to use a stabilizer strap like # 18050 like the Curt hitches require.
I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
If you plan on doing some towing you would need the part # 118407 for trailer wiring, part # 3594 for a ball mount, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, and # 19258 for a 2 inch hitch ball.
