• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Chevy Cobalt Sedan
  First place to check is the how many doors do you have? 2 doors equals coupe and 4 equals sedan. Do you see any badges at the rear of the vehicle on the trunk that say SS or Sport? If you can get back to me with that info I can see what you'd need.

• Choosing the Correct Trailer Hitch and Accessories for a 2008 Chevy Cobalt LT1
  For the 2008 model year, the Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24756 fits the Sport, Sport Sedan, and SS Coupe models of the Chevy Cobalt.

• Weight of Curt Trailer Hitch part # C11430
  The weight of the Curt hitch part # C11430 is 23 lbs. You should also note that hitches and ball mounts don't factor into the towing capacity of a vehicle. The hitch basically becomes part of the vehicle's frame so it's weight would be not be on the trailer side of the equation.

• Compatibility of 2-Inch Cargo Carrier with 1-1/4-Inch Class I Trailer Hitch on 2010 Chevy Cobalt
  Thank you for your hitch purchase from etrailer. Your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt is equipped with 1-1/4-inch light-duty Class I hitch # C11430 and this has a 200-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity. You do not want to use an adapter for a 2-inch cargo carrier because that adapter will cut your hitch's capacity by 50-percent, which is 100-lbs. This means that if you used an adapter like # HTAD your combined cargo weight plus the weight of your cargo carrier itself could not exceed 100-lbs total....

• How to Carry Four Bikes on 2008 Chevy Cobalt Sedan
  If your Cobalt sedan is a Sport Model, I would recommend the Draw-Tite Class I receiver, part # 24756. For a non-Sport model, go with the Curt Class I, part # C11430. However due to the very limited weight capacity of the Class I receiver, both the hitch and bicycle rack manufacturers all agree that any bike rack used on a Class I receiver should not be used to carry any more than two bikes. Carrying additional bikes can place the weight of the bikes too far away from the hitch, causing...

• Hitch Recommendation for a 2006 Chevy Cobalt
  Based on the size of the food cart you have the only option I can recommend for you would be to install a hitch on your 2006 Chevy Cobalt like # C11430 or part # 24756 if you have an SS model and tow a small trailer.
