This fits: 2012-2020 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan
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 Sonic (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.
Trailer hitch weight ratings are limited to vehicle manufacturer's stated capacities
Not compatible for use with vertical hanging bicycles (bike racks that require the bicycles to be hung / mounted vertically)
Includes installation hardware

Yes, CURT hitch 11240 is designed for 2012-Present Chevrolet Sonic Sedan. The installation method is the same for all years in this range except 2017 models, which require hole enlargement as described in the manual.
Yes, CURT hitch 11240 fits 2017 and newer Chevrolet Sonic Sedans. However, 2017 models require a modification: the forward-most attachment hole on both sides must be enlarged to 1 inch using a drill and 1" drill bit. This enlarged hole then serves as the new access hole for the fishwire and carriage bolts.
The manual specifies a minimum trailer weight of 2000 lbs. and minimum tongue weight of 200 lbs. However, you must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Consult your vehicle's owner manual for the maximum towing capacity of your specific Chevrolet Sonic Sedan.
Non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information about the 18050 straps.
CURT hitch 11240 is designed for use with ballmount #D-20/45520. Euro mount options are also available: #45561 (1 7/8" ball) and #45562 (2" ball).
You will need: a ratchet, 11/16" socket, torque wrench, power drill, 1" drill bit, and safety glasses. The 1" drill bit is required only for 2017 models to enlarge the forward-most attachment holes.
The hitch includes: 4 carriage bolts (7/16-14 UNC, 1-1/2", Grade 8, yellow zinc), 4 spacers (.250 x .88 x 2.25"), 4 pieces of 7/16" fishwire, and 4 hex flange nuts (7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8, yellow zinc). All fasteners are Grade 8 and must be torqued to 70 ft.-lbs.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, particularly when raising the hitch into position.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product. If you are hesitant to undertake this task on your own, contact an authorized CURT installer for additional assistance. You can call CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for help.
1. Fishwire the CM-SP2 spacers and 7/16-14 carriage bolts through the access hole in the frame rail and down through the attachment hole (2 places on each side). For 2017 models, enlarge the forward-most attachment hole to 1 inch and use it as the new access hole, reversing the fishwire in the access hole to use as the attachment point. 2. Raise the hitch into position, lifting the driver side first over the tailpipe, then the passenger side. 3. Secure with 7/16" hex flange nuts. 4. Torque all 7/16-14 fasteners to 70 ft.-lbs.
Drilling is required only for 2017 models. The forward-most attachment hole on both the driver and passenger sides must be enlarged to 1 inch using a power drill and 1" drill bit. This enlarged hole then serves as the new access hole for the fishwire and carriage bolts. For pre-2017 models, no drilling is required.
All 7/16-14 fasteners must be torqued to 70 ft.-lbs. This includes the carriage bolts and hex flange nuts. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. The manual recommends regular inspection to maintain the integrity of the installation.
