Hey Jeff!

Curts calls out the following tools for installing the Hitch # C82WR on your 2025 Cadillac XT6:

- Torque wrench
- T15 Torx bit
- 7mm and 15mm Sockets
- Flathead screwdriver
- Wrench

Since you'll be removing the rear fascia for this installation, I also recommend picking up the Composite Trim Removal Tool Kit # PT73HJ and some painters tape so you can avoid scratching up your vehicle. Check out the linked video for a step-by-step tutorial on how to get the hitch in place!

What do you plan on using the hitch for?

Thanks for the reply. I am only going to use the hitch to transport a couple bicycles.

@Jeff Sounds like a plan! Do you already have a bike rack, or have one in mind that you're wanting to get?

@JonG I already have a bike rack, Thule T2.

@Jeff That's a great bike rack! The SnugTite hitch pin feature will be especially helpful since this hitch receiver sits under your bumper quite a bit.
