How to Select a Trailer Hitch
A listed Rendezvous often lands on a Class 3 two inch receiver when the plan is bikes, a small cargo box, or a light utility trailer under the Buick sticker.
Watch on YouTubeBuick Rendezvous Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
Shopping a trailer hitch for a Buick Rendezvous in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT 13469 Class 3 card. That hitch covers listed 2002 through 2007 Rendezvous years on a two inch receiver, with about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on the hitch card. The same SKU also covers listed 2001 through 2005 Pontiac Aztek years, so keep that sibling badge honest when the fender says Aztek instead of Rendezvous. Read the Buick tow limit before you treat the Class 3 stamp as a blank cheque for bikes, a cargo box, or a light weekend trailer.

Watch on YouTubeWhich CURT hitch fits your Buick Rendezvous
CURT 13469 is the Class 3 hitch for listed 2002 through 2007 Buick Rendezvous years. The live card rates about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on a two inch receiver. Confirm your exact year against the live list rather than assuming every Canadian Rendezvous shares this SKU.
Pontiac Aztek shoppers land on the same 13469 shelf for listed 2001 through 2005 years. Keep that badge separate in your head and open the matching Aztek year lander when that is the vehicle in the bay. Later Buick crossovers such as Enclave keep their own buyers guide and hitch cards. Do not stretch 13469 onto an Enclave just because both wear a Buick badge.
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. |
| Rendezvous versus Aztek | Same 13469 shelf, different badge and year window. Open the Aztek year lander when that is the vehicle in the bay. |
| Later Buick crossovers | Keep Enclave on its own guide: Enclave hitch guide. |
| Bike rack reality | Plenty of Rendezvous owners only want bikes or a small box. Open hitch for bike rack only. |
| Wiring gap | We do not invent a Rendezvous-only four-flat on this page. Start with the wiring harness guide, then trailer light converter tips if turn signals need help. |
| Receiver size | Match accessories to the two inch opening. See the receiver size guide. |
| Install habits | Confirm install notes on the live 13469 card, then recheck hardware after salted trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
Year pages we publish for this Rendezvous card
Year jumps we publish for the Rendezvous years on the live 13469 card. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist. This run has 2002 through 2007 Buick Rendezvous landers complete.

- 2003 Buick Rendezvous hitch

Pontiac Aztek landers for 2001 through 2005 also exist when that is the badge in the bay. Confirm those years on the live 13469 card.
Accessories that match a two inch Rendezvous receiver
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with an anti-rattle kit sized for two inch. Ball mounts must match that opening. If you need rise instead of drop to level a low trailer, open the rise versus drop guide after you pick the shank size.

Parts-counter summary: match the listed Rendezvous year to 13469, respect the Buick door sticker under the hitch rating, keep Aztek on the same shelf with its own year landers, plan wiring carefully because a dedicated Rendezvous harness is not invented here, and never let hitch tube looks outvote the sticker.
