Chevrolet Trax Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chevrolet Trax in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year on this compact crossover, then open CURT 11527. That Class 1 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed two thousand fifteen through two thousand twenty-two Trax years on the live card, and the same sheet also names listed Buick Encore years. Bike racks and light cargo trays are the usual ask. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.

Parts-counter shortcut. Read the door sticker, open live CURT 11527 for listed Trax years, then decide whether the Encore sibling guide helps you double-check the shared sheet. Broader Canada shopping help lives in our buying guide, how to choose a hitch, what hitch class do I need, and Encore hitch guide when that badge is on the driveway instead. Prefer the full index?

The live hitch path for listed Trax years

CURT 11527 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver path that names listed Chevrolet Trax years from two thousand fifteen through two thousand twenty-two on the live card. The same sheet covers listed Buick Encore years from two thousand thirteen through two thousand twenty-two. Read the fitment line carefully so you do not cart a hitch meant for a later Trax redesign.

Class 1 hardware suits bike racks and light cargo carriers when the Chevrolet sticker and the live hitch card both agree. The live title rates the hitch for two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling. Wiring stays a separate carton. CURT 56419 is the cleaner four-flat harness for listed two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-two Trax years. Earlier Trax years may share Encore wiring cards, so confirm the live harness title before you order lights.

How to shop without getting lost

Step 1Read the door sticker

Find the Chevrolet tow and tongue numbers for your Trax. The hitch cannot raise that limit.

Step 2Open the live 11527 card

Confirm the title still lists your Trax year on the shared Encore sheet.

Step 3Match one and one quarter gear

Pins, mounts, and racks must fit the smaller tube. Two inch parts will not seat.

Step 4Pin the rack

Lock or pin any bike rack into the receiver so it cannot walk out on the highway.
