All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
However you define adventure -- whether it's climbing onto the back of a mountain bike, hunting from the top of a tree stand or camping with the family a long way from nowhere -- CURT class 1 hitches provide a light-duty towing receiver to help you Bring It. Each is made to fit a specific vehicle, providing easier installation, a better fit and optimal towing capacity. Custom class 1 trailer hitches are available for a variety of smaller vehicle types, including the compact car, crossover, minivan and small SUV. This particular class 1 hitch is designed to be a custom hitch for certain years of the Chevy Cruze and Buick Verano (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide at curtmfg.com). Tested in accordance with SAE J684, it offers a weight carrying capacity of 2,000 lbs. GTW and 200 lbs. TW. It is equipped with 1-1/4" receiver tube opening to accept a ball mount shank or other hitch mount. This class 1 hitch also comes with all necessary mounting hardware. With its lightweight design and smaller receiver tube size, a class 1 hitch is especially useful for adding cargo space with a hitch-mounted bike rack or cargo carrier. They can also typically be used to tow small trailers such as a utility trailer, kayak trailer or teardrop camper (never exceed the lowest weight capacity of any towing component; i.e. the vehicle, hitch, trailer, etc). Though CURT class 1 trailer hitches are only intended for light-duty towing, we apply the same principles of quality as we do to the rest of our rear mount hitches. Each class 1 hitch is made with hands-on engineering, high-strength steel and precise welding. We use a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat, inside and out, and durable black powder coat to provide a lasting defense against rust, chips and UV rays.
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 Chevy Cruze (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.

No. Part number 11282 is designed for Chevrolet Cruze and Buick Verano models excluding diesel variants. You will need a different hitch model for a diesel vehicle.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 2,000 lbs trailer weight and 200 lbs tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch weight is 35 lbs.
Required tools are: ratchet, torque wrench, 3/4" socket, 13 mm socket, aviation shears, safety glasses, and tape measure. No power tools or drilling equipment is needed.
The kit includes: 4× .250 x .88 x 2.25" square hole spacers (CM-SP2), 4× 7/16-14 UNC 1-1/4" grade 8 carriage bolts (10-10281), 4× 7/16-14 UNC grade 8 serrated flange nuts (20-00103), and 2× 7/16" fishwire.

The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact Curt technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for clarification.
Only if a heat shield is present on your vehicle. If present, you must trim it to access the access hole in the frame. The trim dimensions are approximately 2.50 inches by 2.25 inches, but you should confirm the exact dimensions on your vehicle before trimming, as they are approximate. Use aviation shears for trimming.
The fishwire technique involves threading the 7/16" fishwire through the access holes in the frame and out through the mounting holes. The fishwire is then used to guide the 7/16" carriage bolts and CM-SP2 spacers into position. A detailed fishwire technique diagram is referenced in the manual on page 2, which should be consulted for the specific threading method.
Yes. Before installation, you must lower the exhaust by removing 2 rubber isolators from the muffler towards the center of the vehicle and removing the bolt securing the rearmost hanger to the frame.

The vehicle's wiring harness connectors are located in the trunk behind the taillight in positions P3 and P4, as shown in the Wiring Location Guide. On the driver's side, pull back the felt trunk liner to locate the taillight wiring harness connectors.
Remove the spare tire cover, then remove the two plastic push fasteners on the rear scuff panel and pull the scuff panel out at the bottom and then up. Also remove the plastic push fastener holding the felt trunk liner in place and pull back the felt liner to access the taillight wiring harness connectors.
Separate the vehicle's taillight wiring harness connectors from the taillight housing, taking care not to damage the locking tabs. Insert the T-Connector end with the yellow wire between the separated connectors. Make sure the connectors are fully inserted with locking tabs in place.
