etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Installation - 2012 Chevrolet Equinox- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Etrailer class three custom fit trailer hitch receiver, part number E98865. So here's what our hitch is gonna look like once we have it installed. The cross tube is gonna be hidden behind the bumper mostly and the main thing we're gonna see is the receiver tube sticking out. Now it is a class three hitch, which means it's gonna give us that 2" by 2" receiver tube opening, which is gonna open up a lot of doors for all sorts of different kind of accessories. The way we're gonna mount any of our accessories is the hitch hole pin here on the side and it is gonna accept a standard 5/8 pin and clip. While these aren't included in the kit, you can pick them up here at etrailer.com along with some locking devices to keep your accessories safe.The safety chain loops are gonna be a plate style wove to the bottom and as you can see, we're not gonna have too much trouble getting most size hooks on or off and they are just slightly angled away from the hitch pin hole. more

Best 2012 Chevrolet Equinox Trailer Hitch Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2012 Chevrolet Equinox, we'll be having a look at our best trailer hitch options. On the top we have the Draw-Tite class three. In the middle we have our Curt class three, and on the bottom we have our etrailer.com class three.First we'll give you a brief summary. As far as weight capacity goes, we found that the Draw-Tite hitch here was the winner because it does have higher weight capacities than the other two hitches. As far as appearances goes, all three hitches are gonna look fairly similar, but with a different finish that the etrailer.com hitch has, with it being more of a matte carbine finish, it is going to be a little bit more durable and scratch resistant, so we're gonna give it the winner here.Now for my personal opinion, if I we're to be buying a hitch for an Equinox, I would ask myself what would I be using it for first. If I had the intention of using it with a cargo carrier that was weighted up to 500 pounds, then I would go for the Draw-Tite hitch because it does have the higher capacity and can support a cargo carrier with 500 pounds of weight on it, whereas the other two can't. more
