Expert Reply:

All of the hitches available to fit your vehicle are Class I hitches. The most common hitch, 24812, was one which fits with or without the rear fascia. The bolts for that hitch are M12 x 1.25 x 40mm. We offer replacement hardware kits part number RHK. I have included a link to the most popular hitch for you 2006 Matrix and to our hardware kits.

I need to verify that the bolt set stated above will fit the 2005 Matrix as well. Also, how many bolts are required, Thanks.

@Jack Yes indeed it will. This hitch will come with six M12 x 1.25 x 40 mm CL 10.9 bolts and six half inch conical washers. I have a video install for a 2009 Matrix as a guide. Since it is a 2005 I recommend having a wire brush like part # 814092 on hand and WD-40 to clean out the bolt holes. I have a FAQ that explains in more detail for you.
