Cadillac XT5 Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your XT5 into the one that takes a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. CURT builds one hitch for the Cadillac XT5 from 2017 to 2026, Class 3, rated 5,000 lb, from $317.77 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 XT5
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55384 ($54.52 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the XT5's factory connector for 2017 through 2026. 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: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch 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 XT5 hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Cadillac XT5?
It depends on the year. CURT 13285 covers 2017 through 2026, a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver rated to 5,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a XT5 with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (750 lb on CURT 13285), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13285 a novice install, about 30 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 XT5 tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb, but the XT5's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
