  • How to Get a Replacement Hardware Kit for a Curt Hitch On a 2018 Cadillac XT5
    Hey Sam, to get replacement hardware for your # C13285 hitch you'd need to buy # RHK. You'd just need to enter the hitch's item number in the box, and you'll be all set.

  • Are Curt and etrailer Hitch for 2023 Cadillac XT5 Same
    The etrailer hitch # e62AR and the Curt # C13285 that fit the 2023 Cadillac XT5 are both made by same company so they would have exact same clearance dimensions. Everything I am seeing online says the 24' XT5 is a carryover from the 23' model so the hitches should carry over.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit for 2018 Cadillac XT5
    A trailer hitch from a 2013 Cadillac SRX will not fit your 2018 Cadillac XT5, which means you will need a new hitch. The hitch I recommend for your 2018 Cadillac XT5 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e62AR. I like this hitch above the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 because the Draw-Tite has slightly better ground clearance than the Curt, which is important to keep things like accessories from hitting the ground. I have added a photo showing with this hitch looks like on a 2018 XT5...

  • No Drill Installation Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2018 Cadillac XT5
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 does not require any drilling into the frame of your 2018 Cadillac XT5. If you have a Platinum trim this receiver will not fit on your XT5. You will also not need to modify any of your panels for the receiver to fit. The receiver will attach to your frame with carriage bolts and square hole spacers inside the frame that will pass through factory holes. I have linked an installation video below of an installation that was done in our shop for you...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Cadillac XT5 that Installs Behind the Rear Bumper Cover
    Congrats on the new SUV. To install a hitch that can be concealed by the rear bumper cover on your 2024 Cadillac XT5, I recommend the etrailer item # e62AR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I have attached a couple of pictures below along with an installation video so you can what this hitch looks like once installed. If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56325 and...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2017 Cadillac XT5 Base Model
    Yes, the Curt Class III Hitch Receiver # C13285 is confirmed to fit your 2017 Cadillac XT5 base model. It will use existing holes in the vehicle's frame for a no-drill installation and features a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. I have attached an installation video that you can also use for reference. For a trailer wiring harness I recommend going with the Tekonsha T-One # 118720 if you need a 4-Way connector or the Tekonsha # 118276 if you need a 7-Way. These are both custom harnesses...

  • Can I Install A Wiring Harness On A 2019 Cadillac XT5 Without Having To Splice Wires
    Yes, I recommend the Tekonsha part # 118720 as an ideal solution for you. This Wiring Harness for your 2019 Cadillac XT5 provides a 4-way trailer connector and plugs into the exterior connector located up and to the driver's side of your 2019 Cadillac XT5. No splicing required. If you haven't yet purchase your hitch, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 as a solid option for your towing needs and looks great on the back of the XT5 as you can see from the included customer...

  • Trailer Hitch Options for 2021 Cadillac XT5 1-1'4" or 2" Receiver
    I do have a solution for this, while currently no one makes a 1.25" hitch for your 2021 Cadillac XT5 we can offer a Reducer # C45770 with 4" extension or # HT02 with 3" of extension. They are 2 similar options with different lengths of extension. I do recommend our Curt Hitch Receiver # C13285 as it is designed to hide behind the access panel on your Cadillac. The access panel is easily removed by 2-7mm screws. And install requires no drilling or removal of body parts besides the access...

  • Towing Capacity Of 2017 Cadillac XT5 Luxury AWD And Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch # e62AR and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13285 for your 2017 Cadillac XT5 are rated for capacity based only on the hitch, not the vehicle. You will be limited by the vehicle capacity, and not the capacity of the hitch. In this case, using either hitch with that large a trailer weight would void your warranty on the vehicle, but not the individual hitches.

    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13285 will be a perfect solution for you to be able to haul your Thule DoubleTrack Pro XT Bike Platform Rack part # TH92BJ. While the installation of the hitch is extremely easy I can't offer an estimate of what a local shop would charge you to install it. I have liked a video of the installation for you to check out to see if you want to attempt it or show your shop. I would imagine it will be no more than an hour labor to complete the job with...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2019 Cadillac XT5
    We have a few hitches that will work great for your 2019 Cadillac XT5. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285. This hitch has a gross towing weight capacity of 5,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 750 lbs. If you plan on towing a trailer with this hitch you will also need a trailer wiring harness to operate your trailer lights. For that kit I recommend # 118276 or # C56325.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Cadillac XT5
    The Curt hitch part # C13285 would be the hitch you'd want as long as you don't have the Platinum model. For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-One kit part # 118720 which is a custom fit as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage...

    The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV would fit the Curt hitch part # C13285 you have installed on your 2017 Cadillac XT5 well and would be an excellent bike rack to use. This is one of the nicest bike racks around that's very easy to install, load/unload, and secures the bikes in a way that only touches the tires instead of the bike frame.

  • Hitch and E-Bike Rack Solution for 2017 Cadillac XT5
    For your 2017 Cadillac XT5 you'd need a hitch installed first like the Curt # C13285 so that you could carry an e-bike rack like the Thule EasyFold XT part # TH903202 which has the weight capacity needed but what I also really like about this rack is that it has a ramp that pulls out to make loading the heavier e-bikes a bit easier.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2024 Cadillac XT5
    Yes, we do indeed have a trailer hitch receiver fit for your 2024 Cadillac XT5 (so long as it is not the Platinum model); I verified with the manufacturer for you the correct part is the following: - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13285 If you also need a 4-way wiring harness the correct part is # C56325.
