Question:

Can this product fit a 2014 Chevy equinox LT

Expert Reply:

Yes, the etrailer trailer hitch # e98865 will fit your 2014 Chevy Equinox LT. I have included a link to the right to a video showing installation for you.

If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included to the right that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring there are a few options. If your Equinox came with the factory tow package you can use Tow Ready harness # 118264 or Curt harness # C56210. If it did not come with the factory tow package you can use Curt harness # 56094 for a (4-Way flat) or # C56594 (for a 5-Way flat), or Tow Ready harness # 118494.

If you are not sure if your Equinox has the factory tow package you can have a Chevy dealer run the VIN and they can tell you how it is equipped. I have linked some videos on the wiring as well.
