Installing a trailer hitch on my Bolt
|
| |
After some research I settled on a draw tite hitch from e-trailer It is rated at 2000 lbs and max of 200 lb tongue weight I don't expect my trailer to be anywhere near that but rugged is better than Light weight when it comes to trailer hitches The scariest part in the install is cutting out the slot in the Bolts rear bumper cover. Note*** Instructions say 3.25" wide x 5" tall in the center I assumed the 5" was measured vertically so my slot actually came in st 5.75" after putting it together it seems they mean 5" measured along the face of the rear cover Pop two rear cover plastic retainers Remove bottom two screws of the bumper mount Place two rear attachment screws with anti rotation bars And cool fish wire into the big hole in the cars frame Lift whole hitch under the now loose rear bumper cover And hang it from the two bumper studs . Start the two nuts but don't tighten until the frame bolts have been passed through the big hitch stabilizer arms Tighten the 4 bolts and the hitch is installed Will work on the light kit today
