CURT parts for the Cadillac XTS
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55151 ($35.54 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the XTS's factory connector for 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: CURT 45521 ($51.38 CAD) drops straight into a 1-1/4 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 XTS hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Cadillac XTS?
It depends on the year. CURT 12115 covers 2013 through 2019, a Class 1 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver rated to 3,500 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a XTS with this hitch?
Yes. The 1-1/4 inch receiver takes any 1-1/4 inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (350 lb on CURT 12115), 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 12115 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a XTS tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb, but the XTS's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
