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.
