Buick Regal Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Buick Regal in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and body style, then open the right live CURT card. CURT 12115 covers listed 2011 through 2017 Regal years on a one and one quarter inch Class 2 receiver shared with several GM sedans. CURT 12185 covers listed 2018 through 2020 Regal Sportback years on a separate Class 2 card shared with later Malibu years. Ratings on both shelves sit around thirty five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight. Treat the Buick tow limit as the final word even when the sedan looks ready for a light trailer or a bike rack.

How to Select a Trailer Hitch

CURT · Hitch class basics

A 2011 through 2017 Regal often lands on a Class 2 one and one quarter inch receiver when the plan is bikes or a light trailer under the Buick sticker. Sportback years use a different live card.

Which CURT hitch fits your Buick Regal

CURT 12115 is the Class 2 hitch for listed 2011 through 2017 Buick Regal years. The live card rates about thirty five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on a one and one quarter inch receiver, with novice install difficulty around thirty minutes. The same SKU also lists Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Malibu Limited and Impala, and Cadillac XTS years on the fit list, so the product title can look busy even when you only care about Regal.

CURT 12185 is the Class 2 hitch for listed 2018 through 2020 Buick Regal Sportback years. That live card also lists later Chevrolet Malibu years. Sportback shoppers should open 12185, not 12115. Buick LaCrosse and Chevrolet Malibu already keep their own buyers guides for the shared shelves.

Class 2 · 2011 through 2017 Regal shelf CURT 12115 Listed 2011 through 2017 Buick Regal Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver.

Class 2 · 2018 through 2020 Regal Sportback shelf CURT 12185 Listed 2018 through 2020 Buick Regal Sportback Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver. Same live card also lists later Chevrolet Malibu years. Confirm Sportback body style and year on the live card before you order.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Door sticker first A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Buick tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating.
Sedan versus Sportback Use 12115 for listed 2011 through 2017 Regal years. Use 12185 for listed 2018 through 2020 Regal Sportback years.
Shared GM shelves Live 12115 also lists LaCrosse and other GM sedans. Live 12185 also lists later Malibu. Keep those shoppers on their own guides.
Bike rack reality Many Regal hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only.
Wiring gap We do not currently stock a dedicated Regal four-flat on this shelf. Start with the wiring harness guide and a plug tester.
Receiver size Both live cards use a one and one quarter inch opening. Match accessories to that tube. See the receiver size guide.
Install habits Live 12115 notes novice install around thirty minutes. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips.
Buick cousins LaCrosse and Verano keep their own guides on the towing guides hub. Do not assume Regal shares those primary SKUs.

Year pages we publish for these Regal cards

Year jumps we publish for the 2011 through 2017 Regal years and the 2018 through 2020 Regal Sportback years. Open the lander that matches the model year and body style on your door sticker, then confirm the matching live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist, and this run has a complete set for both Regal shelves.

Accessories that match a one and one quarter inch Regal receiver

Both Regal shelves on this page use a one and one quarter inch tube. Keep it covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with an anti-rattle kit sized for one and one quarter inch. Ball mounts must match that opening, not a two inch shank from a truck drawer.
