You can use the link provided to see all hitches we offer for your 2009 Pontiac G5. All are light-duty Class I types with a 1-1/4-inch receiver opening.

Once you find the hitch that matches your part number you can then click on the instructions link to see the complete installation guide including torque specs. These specs can vary by hitch brand and part number so be sure to match up your hitch part number from its safety sticker.

Also, you cannot re-use hitch hardware. It is intended for a one-time use only. We do offer complete installation hardware kits that you can select using your hitch part number. Simply enter # RHK into our search box and then enter the brand and part number to see the correct kit.

I have linked you to two helpful articles on hitch installation.

Answer 4

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…

The three 1-1/4-inch Class I hitches offered for your 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt sedan (the non-SS version) are shown on the linked page. Hitch #24756 does not fit your vehicle. This fits only 2010 SS Coupe and SS Sedan models. The Curt Trailer Hitch…

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…

Answer 9

The differences between the Draw-Tite #24756 and the Curt #C11447 trailer hitches for your 2008 Chevrolet HHR are that the Draw-Tite has a welded tab that keeps you from using Class II trailer hitch rated accessories and it doesn't have a collar…

Answer 10

The issue is not exactly the depth of the receiver but the stop that is punched into it, see picture. This stop does not allow the use of Class II accessories as a safety precaution to keep users from overloading a Class I trailer hitch. I can sell…

I did a little research and found that the draw bar came with your Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver with Drawbar, part #60815 (no longer available), is the Sportframe Drawbar 4 inch Rise, part #3594. Since your hitch is a Class I hitch it is not…

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…
