Is a 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Available for a 2013 Cadillac ATS  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

The only trailer hitch that is offered for a 2013 Cadillac ATS is a class I with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. For this, I recommend the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 24924 because it does not require any permanent modifications to the vehicle like the other option for your ATS would, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11311.

Therefore, if you need to use a trailer hitch you will have no other option but to use a class I with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. Generally speaking, they do not make class III trailer hitches with a 2" receiver tube opening for such small vehicles. These are generally only available for larger trucks and SUV's.

Please note that a class I trailer hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening can be just as capable as a class III trailer hitch with a 2" receiver tube opening. If you can tell me what you will be using the hitch for then I would be glad to help confirm this. I have attached an install photo for you as well.

The largest cargo carrier we have that will work with the class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch on your Cadillac ATS is the 20x47 Reese Cargo Carrier part # 63155. As you mentioned, they do not make any mobility scooter carriers that will work directly with a class I, 1-1/4" trailer hitch so if you do not think you will be able to fit the mobility scooter onto the above carrier then you would just need to seek alternative solutions such as a different vehicle in which a class III, 2" trailer hitch is available for as you could then use something like the 30x50 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18112. You would also need to check the tongue weight of your hitch. The # 63155 weighs 44 pounds.
