If your Cobalt is an SS then you could use a Draw-Tite Hitch, part # 24756, like you referenced. I attached installation instructions and a video of this hitch being installed on a vehicle that is similar to yours below also. You may also be interested in...

• Is There a Trailer Hitch for 2010 Chevrolet HHR With Heavy Tongue Weight Capacity
  The only trailer hitches that fit a 2010 Chevy HHR are Class I hitches with a 1-1/4 inch receiver, 2,000 lb towing capacity and 200 lb tongue weight capacity. The reason is because these vehicles simply don't have the capacity for that much extra weight, and aren't designed with that purpose in mind. Five hundred pounds is a very large amount of tongue weight, and the only vehicles that have hitches with that much capacity are large trucks or SUVs. The only option to transport a mobility...

• 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. If you have a regular sedan or coupe model you would need the Curt hitch # C11430. The underside of each may look similar but the mounting locations and hitch design are different which is why there are different hitches for each. I have included links to the installation instructions for both hitches for you to view. If you require the first hitch, 24756,...

• Is Plug And Play Trailer Wiring Harness Available For 2001 Toyota Solara
  The # 118407 trailer harness wiring kit is not designed as a fit for your Solara, but we do have trailer wiring harnesses that can be hardwired. It is a little more work but really not that tough. I recommend a kit like part # C59496.

You can have someone sit in the driver seat and go through the functions while you...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy HHR
  Curt and Draw Tite are not the same companies. Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch are made by the same company so they are basically the same. But Curt is it's own company by itself. For most vehicles all of the hitch manufacturers will go with a very similar design that uses the same installation points on the vehicle. In the case of your 2011 Chevy HHR all of the hitches do look very similar with a few minor differences. The hitch I would recommend is the Draw-Tite part # 24756 because it doesn't...

• Lighted Hitch Cover for 2008 Chevrolet HHR
  For your 2008 Chevrolet HHR with 1-1/4-inch hitch you can use the Skull with L.E.D. Eyes Trailer Hitch Receiver Cover # CR-018. If a skull with glowing red eyes is not your cup of tea, you could use the Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Hitch - 6-1/2" Long # e43YR with the Flint Hill Goods Square LED Brake Light Hitch Cover for 2" Hitches # FHG72VR. The adapter would allow you to use the 2" # FHG72VR on your 1-1/4" hitch, but it will stick out 6-1/2". These lights require...

• Hitch and Trailer Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy HHR
  The only way you could transport a 500 handicap scooter with your 2011 Chevy HHR would be for you to install a hitch like part # 24756 and then use a small trailer. A cargo carrier setup wouldn't work because your vehicle wouldn't have the tongue weight rating to suspend the weight of your 500 lb wheel chair off the ground unsupported. To complete your towing setup you would also want a ball mount, the # 118407 for trailer wiring, # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch hitch ball, and # 19258 for a...

• 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. The dimensions of the food cart are too big to fit on a cargo carrier. The hitch I recommended comes with pin and clip. You will still need a ball mount. For a ball you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). You will need to check the coupler...

  If you have a 2011 Chevy HHR and it is an SS model, there is a small section that needs to be trimmed in the rear fascia for the hitch to fit properly.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch and Ball Mount for a 2009 Chevy HHR
  The trailer hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Class I # 24756 and Draw-Tite ball mount # 3594 because the top of the receiver to the ground is 10-1/4 inches and the ball mount will give you a 4-inch rise. As a result, giving you a 14-1/4 inch ground clearance and stay above the 13-1/2 inches. The weight will bring the clearance down a tad from the 14-1/4 inch clearance which will keep your trailer more level. The wiring for your 2009 Chevy HHR is # 118407 and 1-7/8 hitch ball is # 19256.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Chevy HHR
  Curt and Draw Tite are not the same company. Curt is it's own company whereas Draw Tite is made by Cequent which also makes Reese, Hidden Hitch, and Pro Series hitches. They are all great brands that I would feel comfortable recommending for your 2001 Chevy HHR, but for your vehicle I would go with the Draw Tite part # 24756 since it has the most positive reviews over all of the other hitches available. Plus, if you were to use a non-supported hitch accessory like a bike rack you wouldn't...

• Ball Mount Recommendation to Clear the Back of a 2007 Chevy HHR
  If you were to use ball mount # C45014 on your 2007 Chevy HHR it would be very tight so I do recommend going with the longer # C45015. If you have or are looking at hitch # C11447 then the ball mount that Curt recommends is # C45520 which is about the same length as C45015 so it would also have enough length. For either ball mount if the trailer takes a 2 inch ball use # C40018. And if it takes a 1-7/8 inch ball use # C40001. And if you don't already have a trailer wiring harness you can...

• Trailer Lights Go Out When Pressing Brake Pedal with 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt Trailer Wiring
  First, I recommend testing the 4-way flat trailer connector on the rear of your 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. You will want to use a circuit tester, like # PTW2993, to test for right turn, left turn, and brake signal at the connector. I have attached a video demonstrating how the test the 4-way. If everything is functioning properly at the connector, then you will want to move to the trailer. It sounds like it may be a ground issue. When you step on the brake, a higher voltage is require to...
