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 Volt (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 1,000 lbs. GTW and 100 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.

Yes, Curt part number 11221 is designed for the Chevrolet Volt. This is a receiver hitch installation that requires trunk pan access and underbody panel modification.
The manual specifies gross load capacity and tongue weight ratings, but these values are not legible in the provided documentation. Contact Curt Manufacturing technical support at 1-877-287-8634 for the exact capacity specifications. You must also verify that you do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Required tools are: silicone caulk, knife, screwdriver or pry bar, ratchet, torque wrench, T-15 Torx bit, 7mm socket, 10mm socket, 17mm socket, 3/4" socket, drill, and 17/32" drill bit.
The kit includes: (2) 1/2-13 UNC carriage bolts, grade 8, 1-3/4" long (part 10-10272); (2) .250 x 3.00 x 4.00" square hole spacers (CM-SP28); (1) .188 x 1.50 x 3.00" round hole spacer (CM-SP34); (2) 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, grade 8 (20-00062); (2) 7/16" conical tooth washers (30-00163); (2) M10x1.5x25 hex cap screws, class 10.9 (10-10475); and (1) .250 x 1.00 x 1.50" round hole spacer (CM-SP50).
Yes. You must clear the trunk contents and remove the plastic trunk pan insert by removing (4) 10mm nuts. The steel trunk pan, main battery, and audio battery will then be visible. You will work with the steel trunk pan in place but will need access to it for drilling and spacer installation.
You must remove the underbody panel by removing (8) 7mm hex head screws, (2) T-15 button head Torx screws, and (1) plastic body panel fastener. This panel is removed to access the frame rail and later trimmed to fit around the hitch receiver tube.
Yes. You must drill a hole in the trunk pan for one of the 1/2" fasteners. The manual specifies: locate the existing 1 3/8" plug in the bottom of the trunk pan, remove it carefully, measure 4 1/2" toward the front of the vehicle, and drill a hole at that location. Use a 17/32" drill bit.
Yes. You must trim the underbody panel in two places: (1) trim a 2 1/2" x 4" square hole from the center of the underbody panel for the receiver tube, and (2) notch the front of the underbody panel for side plate clearance. Trim diagrams are provided in the manual showing the exact dimensions and locations.
1. Clear trunk and remove plastic trunk pan insert (4 x 10mm nuts). 2. Remove underbody panel (8 x 7mm screws, 2 x T-15 Torx screws, 1 x plastic fastener). 3. Remove 1 3/8" trunk pan plug; measure 4 1/2" forward and drill a hole for the second 1/2" fastener using a 17/32" bit. 4. Apply 1/4" silicone caulk bead around holes and spacers; place spacers centered over trunk pan holes; insert 1/2" carriage bolts into spacers. 5. Raise hitch onto bolts; loosely install 1/2" hex flange nuts and M10 hex bolts with conical tooth washers. 6. Torque M10 bolts to 48 lb-ft and 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft. 7. Trim underbody panel (2 1/2" x 4" square hole and front notch). 8. Reinstall underbody panel and plastic trunk pan insert.
The spacers (CM-SP28, CM-SP34, and CM-SP50) are placed in the trunk directly centered over the trunk pan holes. They support the carriage bolts and distribute the load. Silicone caulk is applied around the holes and spacers to seal them.
Torque all M10 bolts to 48 lb-ft and all 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft. These fasteners must be torqued after the hitch is loosely installed and positioned correctly.
A 17/32" drill bit is required to drill the hole in the trunk pan for the second 1/2" fastener.
All non-trailer loads applied to this hitch must be supported by Curt part number 18050 stabilizing straps. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty.
Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. The Curt 11221 has its own capacity rating, but your vehicle's limit is the controlling factor. Verify both specifications before towing.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This is a routine maintenance requirement to keep the hitch safe and functional.
The manual states the hitch is designed for use with ball mount part number D-55001 or 45501. A euro mount option is available (part numbers 45571 for 1-7/8" ball and 45572 for 2" ball). Consult Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for compatibility with other ball mounts.
Yes. The manual instructs you to carefully remove the 1 3/8" plug from the bottom of the trunk pan and return it to the owner for future use. Keep it in a safe place.
Yes, the Curt 11221 is designed for the Chevrolet Volt.
Yes. You must drill a 17/32" hole in the trunk pan and trim a 2 1/2" x 4" square hole in the underbody panel plus notch the front for side plate clearance.
You need a torque wrench, drill with 17/32" bit, sockets (7mm, 10mm, 17mm, 3/4"), T-15 Torx bit, ratchet, screwdriver/pry bar, knife, and silicone caulk.
Torque M10 bolts to 48 lb-ft and 1/2" fasteners to 110 lb-ft.
All non-trailer loads must be supported by Curt part 18050 stabilizing straps, or the warranty is voided.
