Features to know about

Tow and Haul with Confidence: Class II Strength for Everyday Use

This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver gives you solid towing performance in a compact 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" size. Rated at 3,500 lbs maximum gross trailer weight and 350 lbs maximum tongue weight, it’s ideal for small trailers, cargo carriers, or bike racks. The square-tube, fully welded steel build delivers dependable strength trip after trip. You get the power of a Class II hitch without adding unnecessary bulk to your vehicle.

Easy Bolt-On Install: No Welding Required

You don’t need shop tools or fabrication skills to get this hitch mounted. It’s custom-fit for your vehicle and uses a bolt-on installation—no welding needed. The precision, robotic welding ensures all the holes line up just right for a clean fit. Everything you need comes in the hardware kit along with step-by-step installation instructions to make the process simple from start to finish.

Built to Last: Gloss Black Powder Coat Over Protective Base

Durability is built in from the finish up. A gloss black powder coat over a protective base coat keeps rust and corrosion away even in tough conditions. The sturdy steel construction holds up against road grime and weather so your hitch keeps looking sharp and performing strong over time.

Ready for Light-Duty Towing and Accessories

Whether you’re hauling a small camper, towing a light utility trailer, or adding a bike rack or cargo platform, this hitch is designed for everyday versatility. Drawbar, pin, and clip are sold separately so you can pick the setup that best fits what you want to tow or carry.

With a little elbow grease this hitch fits perfect on my caprice. I understood the unit was not the easiest to come by given its age but the folks at etrailer got it done. I'm really happy with the product and my service.



by:

fit perfect on my 96 chevy impala ss can hardly see it on car , just use it when I need scooter, I can still walk just planning ahead , don't have to see about getting one custom made you have great customer service, will tell fellow members of impala clubs where to finally get a hitch Thanks again JOE FAGAN SR.



by:

Works well on 96 Impala SS with factory-style dual exhaust.

Only hiccup was having to slightly enlarge the 4 bolt holes on bumper support with same drill bit used to drill holes in frame - 2 minute addition to the job.

Pleased with the unit, the price, and etrailer as always.

Thanks for your email, I am happy with the hitch and will continue to use you folks as well as direct friends and family your way.

Fit was perfect on my 1995 Buick Roadmaster sedan. Easy install. Works great.



by:

Took me 25 min at home to install yr hitch and wire harness not one issue everything fit hardware you supplied was perfect. Thank you very much



by:

Great hitch! My second one. Have another on my Roadmaster Wagon. Installs easily after drilling four 1/2 inch holes and spinning the u-bolts into the frame. Tail light harness makes for an easy plug and play install.



by:

Install is relatively simple, sits low profile and hides away nicely. It feels surprisingly beefy for a Class II, more than enough for hauling ATVs, mowers, and other light loads. My only small complaint is that the eye loops for the safety chain is very recessed, so reaching it is difficult and I had to modify my safety chain to even reach it. It’s been nearly a year and has held up very well, I’m very pleased overall. It’s unlikely but a Class III variant would also be great

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon
    I do have an option for you, however the Draw-Tite Class III Max-Frame Hitch Receiver # 75676 referenced in your question is designed for certain model year Lexus vehicles and will not fit your Buick Roadmaster Wagon. For your vehicle, I instead recommend the Curt # C12009, which is confirmed to fit your 1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon. This is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, but it does feature a 3,500 pound towing weight capacity. This is the highest rated hitch...

  • What Trailer Hitch Will Fit The 1985 Chevy Caprice And Can It Be Used To Tow?
    Hello, thanks for getting in touch. There is only one custom fit hitch available for the 1985 Chevy Caprice, the Curt # C12009. This has a 1-1/4" receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. There is no 2" hitch made for this vehicle. Technically this 1-1/4" hitch can be used to tow, as long as the load remains under 3,500 lbs. Looking up the 1980 Chevy Caprice online, it looks like it has a base curb weight of about 3,400 lbs. So the combined weight of the vehicle, plus whatever trailer...

  • Trailer Hitch Options For A 1979 Chevy Caprice Wagon
    Hi Carston, The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 is listed as a fit for sedan models only. It looks like we unfortunately don't have a custom-fit option for a wagon model so you'd have to go with a weld-on option instead. To do this you would need to measure your frame width and see how much of a drop you'd need from the frame to clear the rear fascia. We offer the following weld-on options, which will all fit an 18" to 44" wide frame width and any excess can just be trimmed off of...

    We do offer a Class II hitch for the 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon with a respectable 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity, part # C12009. For towing, you'd also need the trailer wiring harness, part # C55352 and a 1-7/8 inch ball, # 19256 or a 2 inch ball, part # 19258. None of the hitch manufacturers we deal with offer a Class III hitch that would be compatible with the 1996 Roadmaster Estate Wagon.

  • Is There a Class III 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 1995 Buick Roadmaster?
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12009 class II receiver is our only custom fit receiver for your 1995 Buick Roadmaster. There are a couple ways you can get to a 2" opening receiver. First would be to use an Adapter # e43YR but this will lower your towing capacity and tongue weight by 50%. Second would be to use a Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701.

  • Is There a Class III Hitch for a 1994 Chevy Caprice
    I do have an option for you but there is only one trailer hitch option for a 1994 Chevrolet Caprice and that's the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12009 which is a class II. It however can still be used for towing up to 3,500 lbs but there would be no options for weight distribution.

  • Differences Between Class II and Class III Trailer Hitches
    The biggest difference between a Class II hitch and a Class III is the size of the hitch opening. The Class II will have an opening that is 1-1/4 inch by 1-1/4 inch and lower capacities whereas the Class III will have a 2 inch by 2 inch opening with higher capacities. There aren't always Class III hitches available for every vehicle. For example your 1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon only has a Class II hitch available, part # C12009.

  • Which Trailer Hitch and Wiring Kit Fits 1979 Buick Electra
    For your 1979 Buick Electra the Curt hitch part # C12009 is actually the correct fit and not the one you mentioned as it fits other vehicles that are much different. Then for a trailer wiring kit the Curt part # C59236 is the best option for you. For a ball mount then the part # C45522 is the correct one for the hitch mentioned. For hitch balls you'd want the part # C40018 for a 2 inch ball or part # C40001 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
