• Trailer Wiring and Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Chevrolet Equinox LT
  The best way to install and use the Curt Wiring Harness part # C56012 would be to keep it stored in the jack compartment when not in use and then when needed open the jack compartment and run the 4-way out through the rear door. Running it through the floor might be possible, but it's not the recommended way for installing the harness so I cannot recommend a way for you to do that. For a hitch the Curt Class III Hitch # 13591 would be an excellent choice. It's a Class III hitch with a...

• Chevy Equinox Trailer Hitches - Is There A Difference In Bumper Clearance With Different Hitches?
  Hello David, good question. There can be some variation in how far the hitch extends from the back of the vehicle. Depending on what year your Equinox was made, and what hitch you have on there now, there may be an option that will work for you. For example, the Curt Trailer Hitch # 13591 for the 2005-2017 Chevy Equinox sits 4-1/2" behind the bumper. Then we have the Draw-Tite hitch # 76028 which sits only 3-1/2" behind the bumper. So making this switch would probably fix your issue....

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2007 Saturn Vue
  Actually, if you were to try to install Curt hitch # C19101 it would require a lot more work than the custom fit hitches for your 2007 Saturn Vue. You would have to access the metal bumper beam which would require removal of the rear fascia. Then once you get that removed it is possible, even likely, that the hitch will not fit. Installation of a custom hitch such as # 13591 is much easier as you can see in the video I have linked showing an example installation. I have also included a...

• Fishwire Tips and Spacer Block Orientation to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2013 Chevy Equinox
  By kinking the wire it just means you will bend it somewhere between the bolt and the spacer so that when you pull the bolt through it doesn't get stuck inside the frame from being bound up with the block. The blocks do not go in the frame any certain way. Once you start to tighten them the block will turn as well until it hits the side of the frame allowing you to tighten the bolt without it spinning. I have actually linked you 3 videos showing installation of Curt hitch # 13591. They...

• Threading Bolts for a 13591 Hitch for 2006 Chevy Equinox
  Vehicles tend to pick up dirt and road debris beneath the vehicle, so I would suggest cleaning the weldnuts really well. Soaking the holes with WD40 and using a wire brush works well. We have found that a battery terminal brush works great. We also have an installation video on that particular hitch on a 2005 Chevy Equinox, which is very similar to your vehicle and may help. I have included a link to it below.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Equinox AWD Behind a Motor Home
  I checked the owner's manual online for a 2012 Chevy Equinox with All-wheel drive and you can flat tow it behind a motor home. Take a look at the recreational towing section (10-78) in the owner's manual to confirm. As far as a rear towing package I assume that you mean a trailer hitch. The trailer hitches that fit a 2012 Equinox will actually fit 2005 to 2016 Equinox models; such as Curt Class III hitch # 13591. But the hardware will have to be replaced since it is designed to be torqued...

• Can Trailer Hitch Be Installed on Vehicle with Rust on Frame
  If the vehicle frame has surface rust where the hitch would mount that's pretty normal and would be fine. If the frame has enough rust that the frame is basically starting to deteriorate then I can't recommend you install a hitch. The Curt hitch part # 13591 would be the most popular and best option we have. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. If at all possible I would remove surface rust with sand paper and spray paint over to keep it from spreading.

  Yes, the Curt Trailer Hitch item # 13591 will fit your 2017 GMC Terrain. However, I have a better option for you. I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98865.

This etrailer Hitch item # e98865 custom fit for your Terrain and bolts to it with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver....

• Can a 225 Pound Dirt Bike be Carried on the Back of a 2015 Chevy Equinox AWD 4 Cylinder
  The tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch is one thing but you also have to consider the tongue weight capacity of your 2015 Chevy Equinox. According to the vehicle owner's manual the 4 cylinder models are rated for 1,500 pounds gross trailer weight and the tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So at 1,500 pounds 15 percent would be 225 pounds. This is about 50 pounds short of where it would have to be with a 50 pound carrier and 225 pound bike. If...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2006 Saturn Vue
  The difference is that the 2006 Saturn Vue Red Line models require noticeable rear fascia trimming when installing a trailer hitch. The Red Line models also have a lower suspension.
