Question:

I recently bought this hitch, installed it and used it one time. Unfortunately, the Regal came to the end of its service life. We also own a 2001 Buick Century. Will this hitch also fit the Century? Should I harvest the hitch before junking the Regal?

Expert Reply:

For your 2001 Buick Century you would need a Draw Tite Trailer Hitch for the Buick Century, part # 36374. I attached installation instructions and an instructional video for this product below for you to check out.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # C12225, that was on your Buick Regal would not work on your Buick Century.

If the hitch is still in good shape, you might be able to find someone else with a 1997-2004 Buick Regal or a 1997-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, Coupe and Sedan that would be interested in it. They would need a new set of installation hardware which they can get from etrailer.com with part # RHK.
