Whatever the next checkpoint is on your adventure -- whether it's getting your bike on the trail before sunrise or making it to the campground before dark -- CURT class 2 hitches let you Bring It with confidence. These receiver hitches are made to handle most light-duty towing applications and offer a custom fit for your vehicle. Typically used on full-size cars, crossovers, compact SUVs, minivans or even compact pickup trucks, a CURT class 2 trailer hitch complements the design of smaller vehicles. This particular class 2 hitch is made to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Buick LeSabre, Buick Lucerne, Oldsmobile Aurora and Pontiac Bonneville (to verify vehicle compatibility, see application info). It offers a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 lbs. GTW and 350 lbs. TW. Class 2 trailer hitches can typically be used to tow a variety of lightweight trailers, such as a small utility trailer, small fishing boat trailer or popup camper (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component). They are also perfect for adding cargo space to your vehicle with a bike rack or cargo carrier. This class 2 hitch features a 1-1/4" receiver tube to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch-mounted accessory. For safety, it is tested in accordance with SAE J684. A custom trailer hitch design requires extra care, and as such, CURT class 2 hitches are engineered using real vehicles and hands-on research. We use high-strength steel, robotic welding and rigorous testing to produce hitches that are built to fit your lifestyle. To ensure that each hitch will be a reliable extension of your vehicle, we also finish our hitches in a co-curing of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, giving them long-lasting rust and wear resistance.
If your vehicle is not equipped with wiring for towing a trailer, CURT custom wiring is the ideal solution. A custom wiring harness -- also called a T-connector -- is a simple, plug-and-play electrical device that plugs into your automotive electric system and provides a standard, universal trailer wiring connection. This is done using two or more vehicle-specific, OEM-compatible connectors to plug into the taillight assembly, eliminating the need for cutting, splicing and soldering during installation. Custom wiring harnesses are made vehicle-specific, and while they are not available for all vehicles, they do offer one of the fastest, easiest and most secure ways to wire a vehicle for towing. This particular plug-in harness provides a 4-way flat connector socket and is designed to be a custom wiring harness to fit certain years of the Buick Lucerne and Ford Fiesta sedan (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary wiring components to establish a reliable trailer wiring connection, as well as a dust cover to keep the connector clean when not in use. You have a picture in mind of your next destination -- maybe it's the boat landing at your favorite fishing spot, maybe it's a campsite that overlooks one of nature's masterpieces, or maybe it's the next big jobsite. However, turning that picture into a reality takes more than just daydreaming. It takes a solid connection and the right amount of power. CURT custom wiring is made with some of the most sophisticated technology in the industry and is designed to install with ease, giving you a long-lasting electrical connection for your towing hitch setup.

The 06 - 09 Buick Lucerne Curt 1-1/4", Class 2 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 12044 (Part #CHW-211) fits the following vehicles: 2006-2009 Buick Lucerne. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the 06 - 09 Buick Lucerne Curt 1-1/4", Class 2 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 12044 (Part #CHW-211) is designed to fit the 2006-2009 Buick Lucerne.
The 06 - 09 Buick Lucerne Curt 1-1/4", Class 2 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 12044 (Part #CHW-211) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 12044 is designed for 00-05 Buick LeSabre (all models), 06-current Buick Lucerne, 00-05 Pontiac Bonneville (all except SLE), and 00-03 Oldsmobile Aurora. Verify your vehicle year and model match these applications before purchasing.
The manual lists a gross load capacity for trailer weight and tongue weight, but the specific values are not printed in this version of the installation guide. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity ratings. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
You will need: a drill with a 17/32" drill bit, 17mm socket, 9/16" socket, 3/4" socket, 10" extension, ratchet, and torque wrench. These tools are required for drilling mounting holes, installing fasteners, and achieving proper torque specifications.
The kit includes: 2× 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts (1-3/4"), 2× 0.250" × 1.00" × 3.00" spacers, 2× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, 1× 1/2" fishwire, 2× 3/8" S-con washers, 2× M10×1.5 hex cap screws (45mm), 2× 3/8-16 UNC serrated flange nuts, 2× 3/8-16 UNC carriage bolts (2"), and 2× 0.250" exhaust hanger brackets.
Yes. Step 1 requires removing the exhaust hanger bracket from the bottom of the frame rail and disconnecting the rubber hanger attached to the exhaust tail pipe. A replacement bracket is provided in the kit and will be installed during the hitch installation. Return the factory exhaust brackets to the vehicle owner.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill two 17/32" holes in the frame rail using the hitch as a template. A 17/32" drill bit is included in the required tools. The hitch is temporarily attached with hex bolts before drilling to ensure proper hole placement.
Possibly. Step 2 states that when lifting the hitch into position, you may need to bend or cut the heat shield to allow for hitch clearance. If your vehicle is equipped with a heat shield, remove the rearmost fastener securing it to the frame rail and discard it, then trim the heat shield as needed.
Only if your vehicle is equipped with automatic load leveling control. If present, remove the rearmost fastener securing the load leveling control housing to the frame rail and discard it, then trim the housing as needed to allow hitch clearance.
The fishwire technique is used to route carriage bolts and spacers through frame access holes after the hitch is lowered into position. The 1/2" fishwire included in the kit is threaded through the access holes to guide the fasteners into place. Refer to the Fishwire Technique Diagram in the manual for the detailed procedure.
In Step 4, slide the rubber hanger onto the 3/8" carriage bolt and secure it with a flanged hex nut. Tighten the nut against the rubber hanger allowing the hanger to rotate. Do not over-tighten, as this can damage the rubber isolator. The hanger should move freely.
Torque all M10 fasteners to 45 ft.-lbs. Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 110 ft.-lbs. Use a torque wrench to achieve these specifications. These values must be followed to ensure proper hitch performance and safety.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Additionally, all non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by auxiliary stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Regular inspection helps maintain safety and performance. No specific retorque interval is stated in the manual.
The Curt 12044 is designed for use with ball mount part number D-20 / 45520. Verify compatibility with your intended ball mount before purchase.

The kit includes a custom wiring harness with yellow and green wire ends for driver and passenger side connections, a white ground wire with ring terminal, a provided screw for grounding, cable ties for securing loose wires, and a 4-flat dust cover to prevent corrosion.
The manual states "Tools Needed: None" are listed. However, you may need a drill with a 3/32" bit if a suitable existing grounding point (screw with nut) is not available near the taillight connectors. A test light or properly wired trailer is required to test the harness after installation.
Open the vehicle tailgate and remove the scuff panel by pulling out on the bottom and then up, taking care not to damage the alignment tabs on the back. Pull back the felt liner to locate the vehicle taillight wiring harness connectors. The connectors will be similar in appearance to those on the custom wiring harness.
The yellow wire end connects to the driver side taillight connectors. The green wire end connects to the passenger side taillight connectors. Insert each harness end between the separated factory connectors, ensuring the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
Locate a suitable grounding point near the taillight connectors, such as an existing screw with nut in the vehicle frame. If no suitable point exists, drill a 3/32" pilot hole. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint. Secure the white ground wire using the ring terminal and provided screw.
Drilling is required only if a suitable existing grounding point (screw with nut) is not available near the taillight connectors. If drilling is necessary, use a 3/32" pilot hole. Before drilling, check for hidden items behind or under any surface to avoid damage and personal injury.
Drill a 3/32" pilot hole if a suitable existing grounding point is not available. The area must be free of rust, dirt and paint before drilling.
Do not exceed the product rating or tow vehicle lamp load rating, whichever is lower. Exceeding the rating can cause loss of warranty, overheating and potential fire. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual or contact the vehicle manufacturer for the specific lamp load rating of your vehicle.
Test for proper function by using a test light or connecting a properly wired trailer. All steps must be followed to ensure the wiring harness will function properly before testing.
When in use, route the 4-flat to the center of the vehicle and out of the trunk. When not in use, roll up and store in a convenient, out of the way location inside the trunk. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties.
Reinstall all items removed during installation, including the scuff panel and felt liner. Install the provided 4-flat dust cover to help prevent corrosion. Secure any loose wires with the provided cable ties. Test for proper function using a test light or a properly wired trailer.
