Best 2004 Chevrolet Impala Trailer Hitch Options- Video
Rpb: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the best hitch options for your 2000 through 2013 Chevrolet Impala. Up top here, we're going to have our CURT, which is going to be a Class 2. Then right below that, we're going to have our Draw-Tite, which is also going to be a Class 2.If I we're looking for a hitch for my Impala, I would go with the Draw-Tite, but let's take a closer look at both of our hitches. Now the first thing you might notice is that both of our hitches are going to look very similar and have a very similar design. That's partially because they're going to install exactly the same way. They're going to use factory mounting locations and we're not going to have to drill or cut anything, but we are going to have to fish wire some hardware in place and lower our exhaust.One of the only differences that you're really going to notice is going to be the collar on the end of the receiver tube. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Chevrolet Impala- Video
Today we are going to install part number 36407 from Draw-Tite, and we are going to install this Class II trailer hitch receiver on a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. First we will show you where the hitch mounts up to the frame of the vehicle. The hitch is going to mount up to the bottom frame of the vehicle here and here. And then also it is going to mount to the outside hole here from a crossmember, one on both sides. And on the passengers side frame, it is going to be the same existing holes, but right now they are covered up by the exhaust. So that means that the next step is going to be to lower the exhaust. And that gives us a little more working room to install our hardware. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2004 Chevrolet Impala 24681- Video
Today we are going to be installing hitch part number 24681 from Draw-Tite on a 2004 Chevrolet Impala. You can see here at the bottom of the bumper there are two smaller holes that we are going to use as the rearmost attaching point. These two holes are going to need to be enlarged to 1/2 inch, and then we will feed our block and bolt into position. Also, a little bit forward here, you can see the main crossmember just rearward of the spare tire well. We are going to use the outboard holes on each side as the forwardmost attaching points. To get our hardware into this position, we are going to need to fish wire our bolt and block through this larger access hole here toward the end of the crossmember. So the first thing we are going to do is go ahead and fish the bolts and hardware into the forward crossmember, and then we will enlarge our holes here at the rear. In order to fish the bolts into this forwardmost crossmember, I am going to take a standard piece of what is called "stove wire," and what I am going to be doing is go ahead and feed it through the hole that we are going to be putting the hardware in and back out through the access hole here at the end of the crossmember. From there, we are going to take our 7/16 block and our 7/16 carriage bolt and we are going to feed it through the frame. What we are want to do is just feed the stove wire through the block and then we are just going to take and wrap the threads of the bolt with it. And then from there we can just feed the block into the crossmember, followed by the bolt, and we will just pull that into position. Okay, and we are going to do the very same thing here on the driver's side. more
