Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.

The product was exactly as described and fits perfectly on my 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS. The installation is fairly straightforward but definitely not for a novice to working on cars. Most of the pictures in the installation instructions were spot on, however there were couple times when they were not exactly matching my vehicle. Even so, it was not difficult to understand what every step required.

Timely delivery, product as described, good price and detailed installation instructions.

Great product & great service, I was updated on delivery by my salesman George with emails & tracking every step of the way & my hitch came 1 day earlier than expected! I tried everywhere for a hitch for a 2020 buick encore GX like Amazon and etralier was the only company that had it besides buying it from GM/Buick but you have to by a spical facia plate with a hole in it so the hitch can come through the middle of the bumper witch is like $120 extra plus the price of the hitch itself. This hitch from etralier is awesome it comes out underneath my bumper & half the price! Thanks etralier, now I can go fishing

  • How To Trim Plastic Bumper Fascia On 2020 Buick Encore When Installing Curt Hitch Receiver C94UR
    When installing the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR, you need to trim a 2-5/8" wide by 1-3/8" tall square into the underbody panel as seen in the instructions that I attached for you. I also attached a section of the instructions that shows exactly where to cut the plastic panel.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2023 Buick Encore GX
    The best hitch for your 2023 Buick Encore GX is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C94UR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Buick with included hardware. I really like this hitch and think it's the best option because it installs behind your rear bumper and the crossbar is completely hidden. The only visible portion is the 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" receiver. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a 2,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 200 lbs maximum tongue weight. I...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch/Bike Rack For A 2023 Buick Encore GX
    When it comes to installing a trailer hitch onto your 2023 Buick Encore GX I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR. I recommend this trailer hitch because it will offer enough ground clearance for a bike rack, so you will not have to worry about the bike rack bottoming out. Just for noting that this hitch is not intended for models with the tailgate sensor. The trailer hitch has a bolt on installation. When it comes to hauling your mountain bike around I recommend The Thule...

  • Where on 2021 Chevy Trailblazer Does Trailer Hitch Install
    Due to the design of the 2021 Chevy TrailBlazer the only way to install a hitch like the # C94UR would be by removing the rear bumper cover and beam since that just happens to be the only safe and strong enough location for the hitch to mount. There isn't a different vehicle's hitch that would work.

  • Best Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer
    The trailer hitch receiver I recommend for your 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # DT55GR. I recommend the Draw-Tite hitch because it has a 2" receiver which will allow you to use a larger variety of accessories down the road. If you need a wiring harness, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK39FR. I recommend the T-One connector because it plugs directly into existing...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2023 Chevy Trailblazer
    For your 2023 Chevy Trailblazer I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It features a gloss black powder coat finish, a bolt-on installation, and a limited lifetime warranty. Since you may be towing you will also want wiring. I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK26VR. This plugs into existing wiring so no splicing is required. For a ball mount, you can use the # 36071 along with the # 19256 for a 1-7/8"...

This hitch features a bolt-on installation and comes with a lifetime warranty. If you plan on doing some towing you will want wiring as well. If you have LED taillights you need the # TK26VR and if you have incandescent the # TK58FR. Both of these plug in behind the taillights and will provide you with...

    Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR is confirmed to fit your 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer RS. If you will be using this for towing you will want to use the Curt Class I Drawbar # C45023 along with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball. The Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT will allow you to secure the ball mount and trailer to your Trailblazer when towing.

The Curt Drawbar # C45522 will then be paired with either a 1-7/8" # C40001 or 2" # C40018 hitch ball to match the coupler. I recommend then using the Master Lock Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock and Coupler Lock Set # 3794DAT to secure the ball mount to your Encore and have locks to secure the trailer to your Encore or while in storage.

  • Best Trailer Hitch for Towing and Hitch Mounted Accessories for 2022 Chevy TrailBlazer
    I'd be happy to help you with that. Beginning with the hitch, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class III hitch, part # DT55GR. In order to tow a trailer, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # TK39FR. For a ball mount, use part # D-28 and a hitch pin like # PC3. You'll also need a trailer ball like part # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch pin. I've linked to installation videos for the hitch and the trailer wiring harness mentioned above.

  • Is There a Class III Receiver For a 2021 Buick Encore GX For Carrying a Power Chair?
    Currently the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C94UR is the only receiver we carry for your 2021 Buick Encore GX. This is a class I receiver with a 1-1/4" receiver. You will not be able to find a class III receiver for your Encore due to the very low capacity of the vehicle for trailer towing and tongue weight rating. To haul most power chairs with your Encore you will need a small trailer like the Detail K2 # K2MMT4X6 so you can stay under the 1,000lb trailer capacity. For the trailer you...

  • Hitch Receiver for 2022 Chevrolet Trailblazer for Yakima Bike Rack
    I have a great hitch receiver for your 2022 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. The tongue weight gets the full capacity out of your TrailBlazer's at 350 lbs. This will give you plenty of strength and capability to haul your Saris Freedom Bike Rack item # SA4412B. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C94UR. The clean install completely hides the cross tube and leaves only the 1-1/4" receiver visible.

  • Do Hitches for 2022 Buick Encore GX Work with Handsfree Liftgate
    Hey Ken, none of the hitches we offer for your 2022 Buick Encore GX were designed for versions of the vehicle that have the hands free liftgate. At this time there isn't a workaround we can help with at this time either so you'd have to be okay with losing the feature.
