Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel Towing a Seadoo Spark PWC

Question

Question:

Which hitch would be best for my 2014 Chevy Cruze turbo diesel. Im in the process of buying a brand new jetski, a seadoo spark. The trailer is a light duty , 1200 lbs capacity. The jetski weighs 325 lbs and when loaded on the trailer the guy said the tongue weight is 38 lbs. so what is your recommendation? I want to keep the hitch as much out of sight as I can.

For your 2014 Chevy Cruze diesel I recommend Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 24882. This is a Class I hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You can also see how much of the hitch is visible in the video.

For a ball mount use # 3593. It comes with a pin and clip. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19257. Or if the trailer requires a 2 inch ball use # 19258.

And for trailer wiring you can use # 118508 to add a 4-Way flat connector to the rear of the vehicle. I have linked a video showing an example installation of the wiring harness as well.
