Curt Trailer Hitch Installation - 2019 Chevrolet Cruze- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at "etrailer" and today we're taking a look at installing the Curt class one trailer hitch receiver on a 2019 Chevy Cruze. Now being a class one trailer hitch basically means that you're gonna have an inch and a quarter receiver tube opening and you do kind of limit yourself a little bit with bike racks, ball mounts and cargo carriers. There's definitely still options out there, but on smaller vehicles sometimes you're limited with a inch and a quarter and my car is the same way. And don't worry, there's still plenty of accessories that you can pick up. Now when you do have your accessories in place you're gonna be using a half inch pin and clip to keep them in place. Now the hitch doesn't come with one. more
