Hitch looks like decent construction for a class one bolted on perfect. If your car doesnt have the exhaust heat shield it literally takes less than 5 minutes to put the bolts in and torque of them to spec, if you have the tools. Good buy made in the USA and will haul my bikes. Paid extra for the 3 day shipping for the hitch and my new bike rack both shipped out promptly that day 3 days later it was here.

This is the second Curt I have installed on a Cruze. It is a well made product. Installation on my 2012 Cruze ECO was easy and took less than an hour.
As always the service from etrailer was great! Why even look anywhere else!

Mounted this on my 2014 Chevy Cruze with RS package. Fits perfect! Tucks in close to rear fascia and is hard to notice unless your kneeling or at a distance. Fast shipping from a Great seller!

I purchased the C11282 hitch receiver, hitch bar, and wiring kit that all was perfectly matched to the '14 Chevy Cruze. I already installed the package after watching with the concise on-line video instructions. Great product, instructions, easy installation, and rapid standard shipping.

I considered purchasing the hitch package from a local brick and mortar store but decided on etrailer.com to insure all the parts were matched for my car.



by:

I have had this hitch on the car for a couple of years now and have had 0 issues. Has held up very well. I normally attach a 2 bike rack and have never worried about it falling off. If you are installing yourself make sure to set aside extra time during the install. Installation took 2 hours longer then I had planned.



by:

Etrailers products always exceed my needs. I have used them for my past 3 trailer set ups and will continue to use them. Their customer service is excellent. The trailers hitches are so easy to install too! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Quick shipping and well packaged. Great instructions with awesome video available online. Installed in 10 minutes!

2012 Buick Verano

Great product. I didn't have a lift for the car, so fishing the bolts through was a little tough around the muffler. (There was a brace in the way so the muffler didn't drop down to much on my 2012 Verano.) Once that the bolts were fished through though, it only took about 10 minutes to get it bolted on and it looks great. Will definitely tell people looking to buy a hitch about this.

Second time is the charm. Careful when ordering the trailer hitch for the Chevy Cruze Limited. I discovered the hard way that the bolt pattern for the Cruze Limited is different to that of any other Cruze.
While this is known to those in the know, it is not apparent to buying public. It would be nice if the option would be a mandatory selection when placing an order for the Cruze Limited. This would have avoided costing me an extra.~$35.00 in return shipping costs.



by:
2014 Chevrolet Cruze

etrailer.com is one of the best internet sellers! I have purchased several trailer hitches, wiring harnesses and other miscellaneous products over the years, and they are always prompt, courteous and accurate with their information. The hitch I recently purchased arrived on time, and everything I needed was in the box. Following the installation instructions I was able to install the hitch in less than 15 minutes, without help. As always, the fit was perfect and the installation went off without a hitch! Sorry, I couldn't resist!!!!

Receiver Hitch fit the 2014 Cruze with no modifications. Took about 30 minutes to install. The nifty bolt installation tool (fish wire) was excellent. It is used with a bike carrier and a basket carrier for my brother's fishing gear.

2013 Chevrolet Cruze

The hitch receiver for my Chevy Cruze (C11282) has a nice finish, appears to be very well made, (Nice welds and heavy duty material) is surely a great quality product, which will probably outlast my car! The installation was easy, only took about 20 minutes, and I didn't even have to lower my exhaust as the directions suggested. Very happy with my new hitch receiver and it works great with my bike rack.



by:
2014 Chevrolet Cruze

The hitch installed very easily. I used a floor jack to hold it up, after I fished the bolt/plates into the frame. Made it much easier than trying to bench-pressing the hitch while trying to install the nuts... Very well made hitch, will hold my bike rack perfectly!



by:
2013 Chevrolet Cruze

Service was amazing what i wanted is what i got. would definitely recommend etrailer to anyone, very satisfied with my Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver.



by:
2014 Chevrolet Cruze

After reviewing the super video for this unit on my car I ordered and installed it with no problems.
A very minor discrepancy was that the printed instructions called for a 3/4" socket but the parts are 7/16" nuts -- no big deal.
This is for a Chevy Cruze and is to be used to carry bikes. The easiest way to handle bikes.
I would definitely go with etrailer.com again.



by:
2013 Chevy Cruze

Wow! I received the trailer hitch the day after I ordered it. I watched the video on installation. I thought there was no way it could be that easy. My 6 year old daughter and I installed the hitch onto my 2013 Chevy Cruise. I timed it and it took 8:32. In less that ten minutes I drove it off my wheel ramps. Amazing.



by:
2014 Chevrolet Cruze

Took 20 minuets to install, no jack necessary, very easy and straight forward.  Used for hitch mounted bike rack. U Haul wanted $280 to supply and install hitch.

  • Difference Between Curt Hitches that Fit 2015 Chevy Cruze C11282 and C11425
    There are some subtle differences between Curt trailer hitches # C11282 and # C11425. The receiver is longer on # C11425 so it stick out further and they don't have all the same vehicle fits. Hitch # C11282 fits the 2011 to 2015 Cruze excluding diesels models, 2016 Cruze Limited models, and the 2012 to 2017 Buick Verano excluding turbo and dual exhaust models. Hitch # C11425 fits 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited models and 2015 Chevrolet Cruze models except for the diesel models. If it were...

  • Utility Trailer, Trailer Hitch Receiver, and Wiring Harness For Towing With 2014 Buick Verano 2.4L
    First you will only be able to tow a trailer if your 2014 Buick Verano has the 2.4L engine and a single exit exhaust. The 2.0L turbo is not rated to tow from Buick and will not fit with Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282. This receiver paired with a 2.4L single side exhaust will allow you to tow up to 1,000lbs according to your owners manual. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56288 will give you a 4-way flat trailer connector. This will connect to a Detail K2 Mighty Multi...

  • Bike Rack Clearance Provided by Curt Class I Receiver # C11282 Installed on 2013 Chevy Cruze
    When we installed the Curt # C11282 and the Draw-Tite # 24882 Class I hitches on a 2013 Chevy Cruze, we found that the Curt hitch had a 6-1/4 inch measurement from the hitch pin hole to the furthest rearward point of the back bumper. The Draw-Tite was recessed so that the dimension was 3-3/4 inches. To determine if your rack will be compatible, simply measure from the hitch pin hole to the closest obstruction on the rack, be it the upright, the foot of the rack or in the case of a platform...

  • Adding Rollers To a Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze To Prevent Digging Into Ground
    To prevent the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11282 on your 2011 Chevrolet Cruze from digging into the street you will be able to add a Mini-Roller # UF48-979022 to the receiver. This could be placed on the receiver tube or you can also have 2 of them welded to the cross tube on the receiver so it will not hang down as far. This roller will roll along the street/driveway rather than digging into it with a sharp edge. Currently we only have bolt on options like the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer...

    Thanks again for your recent purchase! The Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack, # Y02458, can be used on a sedan but it is not compatible with a Class I hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C11282, that installed on your 2014 Buick Verano.

  • Trailer Hitch And Wiring Recommendation For 2012 Chevrolet Cruze
    From the research I found, the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs. The Curt Hitch, part # C11282, will work for you. This is a Class l hitch and has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. All non-trailer loads - bike racks, cargo carriers and so forth - should be supported with stabilizing straps like part # 18050. Failure to properly support these loads will void your hitch warranty from Curt. To tow a trailer you will need ball mount # C45522, pin and clip # F-4, and a...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2013 Chevy Cruze
    The price difference and the name of the hitches are due to different manufacturers. Since both the Curt option, part # C11282, and the Draw-Tite option, part # 24882, are 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch receivers with a 200 lbs Tongue Weight capacity and 2,000 lbs Gross Towing Weight Capacity they are pretty much the same hitch. I do recommend going with the Draw-Tite Sport Frame # 24882 though (the "Sport" is just part of the name of the hitch) because the Curt warranty requires that a Support...

  • Can the Yakima HoldUp EVO be Used with Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy Cruze
    The Yakima HoldUp EVO # Y02480 is an excellent bike rack that I believe you'd be happy with but I do have to say that it is 50 lbs. When I looked up the online version of the owner's manual for your 2013 Chevy Cruze it stated that the max trailer weight for your vehicle is 1,000 lbs and that the max tongue weight is 10% of that (100 lbs). So even if you're using the Curt Trailer Hitch # C11282 which has a 200 lb tongue weight rating, you are limited to the 100 lbs. If your bikes don't weigh...

  • Curt or Draw Tite Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2013 Buick Verano
    Function wise the Draw Tite part # 24882 is the winner for your 2013 Buick Verano. The reason I say that is that the Curt you mentioned requires the use of a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack and the Draw Tite does not. So it is the winner in my opinion.

I have attached a copy of the instructions below for this receiver which lists the vehicles it fits and what holes must be drilled for each vehicle it fits to use.

    According to Curt Manufacturing, the # C11282 is compatible with all models of the Chevy Cruze, including those equipped with the RS package. If you will be using the hitch for a bike rack or a cargo carrier, keep in mind that the warranty requirements of the hitch require that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 is required. The Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24882 has no such requirement, which is why I would recommend it over the Curt model. I have linked you to installation instructions...

  • Trailer Hitch For 2014 Chevy Cruze To Carry Power Chair
    I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11282 because you have an extra 3/4" ground clearance compared to the other option for the Chevy Cruze. This is important when carrying a cargo carrier because they are less likely to drag the ground in low ground clearance situations. The only hitches available for your vehicle at this time are Class I hitches so they are not rated for a lot of tongue weight and the wheelchair carrier and wheelchair are both considered tongue weight...
