How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a Bolt usually lands on a Class 1 one and one quarter inch receiver for racks and carefully matched light loads when the door sticker agrees.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chevrolet Bolt EV or Bolt EUV in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year and whether the badge says EV or EUV, then open the matching CURT card. We stock CURT 11457 as a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed 2017 through 2023 Bolt EV years and the listed 2023 Bolt EUV year. That is a light-duty receiver path for bike racks, small cargo carriers, and carefully matched light trailers when the door sticker and battery packaging agree. We do not invent a Bolt-only wiring harness on this page when the live catalogue does not show one, and we keep the wider EV hitch conversation linked so you do not treat a Class 1 tube like a half-ton truck hitch.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Bolt cards below.

Watch on YouTube →CURT 11457 is the dedicated Class 1 path we stock for listed 2017 through 2023 Bolt EV years and the listed 2023 Bolt EUV year, with a one and one quarter inch receiver. On the live card the rating conversation stays light, including a one thousand pound gross trailer weight and one hundred pound tongue weight style rating when that is what the product page shows. That is bike-rack and carefully matched light-trailer territory, not a family camping trailer path. Confirm every number on the product card and on the door sticker before you buy.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 1 reality | 11457 is Class 1 with a one and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that opening. Confirm ratings on the live hitch card. |
| EV honesty | Battery packaging, payload, and the door sticker still win. Read can I put a hitch on an EV before you treat any EV hitch like a truck hitch. |
| EV versus EUV | Both sit on 11457 for the listed years. Open the matching year lander so the badge matches the door sticker. |
| Wiring gap | We do not invent a Bolt-only four-flat on this page. If lights are required, confirm a live harness or converter path before night towing. |
| Light loads only | Most Bolt hitch shoppers want a bike rack or a tiny cargo carrier. Tongue weight still counts. See tongue weight explained and hitch for bike rack only. |
| Receiver size | Two inch accessories do not fit a one and one quarter inch tube. See the receiver size guide. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Chevrolet tow limit. Read the door sticker and any EV towing notes before you load tongue weight. |
| Install habits | Use the CURT install techniques video, then recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
