How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why mid-size luxury crossovers often land on a two inch Class 3 receiver, then still respect the door-sticker tow limit.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Cadillac SRX in Canada? Start with the model year on the door sticker, then confirm the dedicated CURT Class 3 card before you borrow an XT5 or Escalade story from a parts counter. We stock CURT 13002 Class 3 for listed 2010 through 2016 SRX years on this store, paired with CURT 56096 four-flat wiring on the same window. That is a clean hitch-plus-harness shelf — when the year lander exists.
Built for Canadian SRX owners and shops. Free shipping on CURT towing gear from Lots of Parts when the SKU is live on this store.

CURT 13002 is the Class 3 two inch hitch listed for 2010 through 2016 Cadillac SRX years on this store. That is the steel we actually stock in depth for this crossover. Open your year lander, then confirm the same years on the product card before the hitch goes in the cart.
CURT 56096 is the matching four-flat trailer wiring harness listed for the same 2010 through 2016 SRX window. Hitch and lights on one dedicated shelf is the rare clean story for an older luxury crossover — use it when your year matches, instead of grabbing a generic converter and hoping.
Keep XT5 and XT6 shopping on their own guides. SRX is the prior-generation Cadillac crossover with its own CURT cards. Sport and Luxury trim badges on the hatch do not rewrite the 13002 fitment window. We publish SRX hitch year pages for 2010 through 2013 and 2015 through 2016 — there is no 2014 SRX hitch lander on this store yet, and we will not invent one.

Clean shelf
Hitch plus harness
13002 and 56096 cover the same listed SRX window — rare honesty for an older luxury crossover.
Not XT5
Keep Cadillac guides separate
XT5 and XT6 have their own Class 3 and wiring cards. Do not mix year landers.
Modest tow ratings
Class 3 is still not a blank cheque
A two inch receiver helps with accessories and light trailers. The door sticker still sets the ceiling.
