• Bumper and Ground Clearance on Hitches for 2008 Buick LaCrosse
  When installing a bike rack, bumper clearance is important. Two important measurements are hitch pin hole on receiver to end of bumper and hitch pin hole on the bike rack to the closest point of the rack. For bumper clearance, when we installed this on a 2009 Buick LaCrosse, the distance from the hitch pin hole to the end of the bumper was 6" with the Draw-Tite # 36374. I attached a picture for your reference. As for ground clearance, the measurement from the top of the receiver to the...

• Bike Rack Recommendation to Clear My Bumper with the Curt Hitch # C12239 on a 2008 Buick LaCrosse
  When considering whether you have enough shank length on a bike rack to clear your rear bumper, the only way to know for sure is by measuring the center of the hitch pinhole to the outside surface of your rear bumper. We unfortunately do not have that measurement available for the Curt # C12239 when installed on your vehicle. However, since we do have that measurement available for the Draw-Tite # 36374 on a 2009 model Buick LaCrosse, you most likely do not have enough clearance length...

• Availability Of A Class 3 Hitch For A 2002 Buick Century
  I do have an option for you, but we do not carry a class 3 hitch for a 2002 Buick Century. The only hitch available is a class 2 hitch like the # C12239 which has a 1-1/4" square receiver and a 3,500 lb towing capacity. You can absolutely still use this hitch for a small trailer. You will simply need a ball mount to go with the 1-1/4" hitch. For that I recommend the Curt starter kit # C45147 which comes with a draw bar, pin and clip and a 2" trailer ball. We also offer the 4 flat wiring...

• Installing the Curt Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver on a 2005 Buick LaCrosse
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12239 is a confirmed fit for the 2005 Buick Lacrosse. You will use a fishwire to move the carriage bolts and spacers though the access holes in the frame rails to their location. There is a template for drilling two 1/2 inch holes in the side of the frame rails. Then you just will torque the bolts to specs. I've attached the instructions to assist.

• Recommended Parts to Tow a Small Trailer with a 2009 Buick LaCrosse
  We have everything that you need to get towing with your 2009 Buick LaCrosse. For a trailer hitch I recommend the 1-1/4" Class II Curt # C12239 because we have found the Curt trailer hitches typically have better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This contributes to a longer lifespan of the trailer hitch which in turn raises the quality of the hitch. Since you're needing to tow a smaller trailer you'll also need wiring to activate the trailer lights and for that I recommend...

• 2005 Buick Lacrosse Hitch Capacity for Using Hitch-Mounted Wheelchair Carrier
  The hitch you have installed on your 2005 Buick Lacrosse is a 1-1/4-inch Class II type like those shown on the linked page. The highest capacity option is the Curt # C12239 which offers a 350-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity; the others are rated for 300-lbs. Your hitch will have a safety sticker that indicates its TW rating. This means that with this Curt hitch the combined weight of your chair and carrier cannot exceed the hitch's 350-lb rating, or the car's own TW rating, which could...

• Does the Rear Fascia Need To Be Trimmed When Installing Curt Hitch # 12239 On 2008 Buick LaCrosse
  The rear fascia trimming may be required when installing the Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 12239, on a 2008 Buick LaCrosse Super. The Super model is the higher-performance model of the standard LaCrosse sedan. It has a rear fascia that extends farther down than the standard LaCrosse rear fascia. The standard Buick LaCrosse does not need to have any of the rear fascia trimmed. The installation instructions on the # 12239 hitch say it may require trimming on the LaCrosse Super...

• Ramped Wheelchair Carrier for Use on 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue
  Your 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue can be equipped with 1-1/4-inch hitch of either a Class I or a Class II rating. In order to use a wheelchair carrier your hitch will have to be a Class II type. A Class I hitch will not likely have the capacity to handle the weight of the chair and the carrier. The weight of both together must remain within the hitch's and the car's tongue weight (TW) limit. There will be a sticker on your hitch to indicate its class rating and tongue weight capacity. The...
