How to Tell if 2006 Saturn Vue is Redline or Not for Picking Out Trailer Hitch
Question:
I am looking to purchase a trailer hitch dor my 2006 Saturn VUE. I noticed they are listed as with or without Red line. What is a Redline and how do I know which I need for my vehicle? Thank you.

Redline is a trim package for the 2006 Saturn Vue. Most likely you would know if you had the Redline package, but if you need help determining if you do the easiest way to tell is to look at the exhaust pipe at the rear of the vehicle. If the rear bumper stops well above the exhaust tip you do not have the Redline, if the exhaust tip is basically molded into the rear fascia and has a cutout for it then you do have a Redline.
The Draw Tite Hitch part # 36408 fits the non-Redline models and the Curt # 13591 fits the Redline and non-Redline models.
For trailer wiring you would then want the # 118418.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
