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.

It may not seem like rust or dirt but I can guarantee you there is something in the threads of the weld nut that isn't allowing the bolts to thread in. It doesn't take much to jam up the threads and prevent the bolts from threading in. I have…
