Cadillac CTS Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your CTS into the one that takes a bike rack or a small cargo carrier. CURT builds two hitches for the Cadillac CTS from 2003 to 2019, Class 1, rated 2,000 lb to 2,000 lb, from $316.86 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

CURT parts for the Cadillac CTS
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 56044 ($89.67 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the CTS's factory connector for 2008 through 2013. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Cadillac CTS hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Cadillac CTS?
It depends on the year. CURT 11900 is the newest, for 2014 through 2019, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a CTS with this hitch?
Yes. A loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (200 lb on CURT 11900), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is the most you'd want on it.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 11900 a novice install, about 45 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The main body tucks behind the bumper so only the receiver shows. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a CTS tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 2,000 lb to 2,000 lb depending on the part, but the CTS's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
