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 11436 is designed for 2016-Present Chevrolet Volt sedans. Before purchasing, verify your vehicle matches this specification and confirm your vehicle's towing capacity with your manufacturer.
The hitch is rated for a maximum trailer weight of 1000 lbs. and a tongue weight of 100 lbs. when used as a weight-carrying hitch. You must never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower.
The hitch is designed for use with CURT ball mount part 45521. Optional Euro mount options are available: part 45571 (1 7/8" ball) or part 45572 (2" ball).
You will need: ratchet, 6" socket extension, 7mm/10mm/13mm/15mm sockets, T15 torx bit socket, screwdriver, torque wrench, masking tape, aviation shears, and safety glasses.
Two people may be required to ease installation. The manual recommends having a second person available, though it does not state this is mandatory.
You must temporarily remove: the underbody panel, wheel well trim, both tail lights, the bumper fascia, and the bumper beam. The exhaust bracket must also be temporarily lifted. All removed parts are reinstalled after hitch installation.
No, drilling is not required. However, trimming of the underbody panel is required: you must mark out and trim a 2.5" x 4.5" section using aviation shears.
In step 1, after removing the underbody panel, use masking tape to mark out a 2.5" x 4.5" section on the panel. Then trim that section using aviation shears. The panel is then set aside for reinstallation after the hitch is mounted.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Contact CURT Technical Support at 877-287-8634 for guidance on electrical safety precautions before beginning installation.
Yes, the exhaust must be temporarily lowered during installation. In step 5, you remove two M8 bolts from the exhaust bracket on the passenger side using a 13mm socket, then lift the bracket up and over the clips to remove the bumper beam. The bracket is reinstalled in step 6.
All M10 fasteners must be torqued to 45.2 ft.-lbs. This is done in step 7 after the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are loosely fastened in step 6.
All M8 fasteners must be torqued to 22.9 ft.-lbs. This is done in step 7 after the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are loosely fastened in step 6.
1. Remove and trim underbody panel. 2. Remove wheel well trim. 3. Remove tail lights. 4. Remove bumper fascia. 5. Remove bumper beam and exhaust bracket. 6. Raise hitch into position and loosely fasten bumper beam and exhaust bracket. 7. Torque all fasteners to specification. 8. Reinstall all removed parts in reverse order.
Raise the hitch into position, centering it on the vehicle. The hitch mounts to existing weld studs and flange nuts on both sides of the vehicle frame.
Fasteners should be loosely fastened when the bumper beam and exhaust bracket are first raised into position in step 6. All fasteners are then fully torqued to specification in step 7 after final positioning is confirmed.
After installation, periodically check that all fasteners are tight and all structural components are sound. This ongoing maintenance is essential for safe operation.
Safety glasses must be worn at all times while installing this product.
All non-trailer (wheel-less) loads applied to this hitch must be supported by CURT stabilizing straps part 18050. Failure to properly support non-trailer loads will void the product warranty. See the CURT catalog or visit www.curtmfg.com for further information.
Never exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity. Although the hitch is rated for 1000 lbs. trailer weight and 100 lbs. tongue weight, your vehicle's manufacturer may specify a lower limit, which must be observed.
