Hey Archer! Congrats on the new SUV! The best hitch for your 2025 Chevrolet Equinox is going to be our etrailer item # e59ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Equinox with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver that has a 4,500 lbs towing capacity and a 675 lbs maximum tongue weight.

I really like etrailer item # e59ZR hitch because the crosstube installs behind your rear bumper cover and can be completely hidden when you are not towing.

If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C88RV if you have the towing package or item # 119250KIT if you do not and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I have attached a couple of pictures below along with a installation video so you can see how to get this hitch set up and what it looks like when installed.

Hey Archer, how did things go with the etrailer hitch on your Equinox? Did the hidden crosstube design look as clean as you hoped once it was mounted? Your feedback could really help others adding a hitch to the same SUV.
