Chevrolet Cavalier Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)

Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chevrolet Cavalier in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this compact, then open the live CURT Class 1 shelf we stock for listed Cavalier years. CURT 11109 is the in-stock Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed one thousand nine hundred ninety-five through two thousand five Chevrolet Cavalier years on the live card, alongside listed Pontiac Sunfire years on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about two thousand pounds gross trailer weight and two hundred pounds tongue weight. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Most Cavalier owners are bike-rack or light utility shoppers, so treat the hitch rating as hardware capacity under the Chevrolet sticker.

How to Select a Trailer Hitch

CURT - Hitch class basics

Match Class 1 hardware to the Cavalier door sticker and the live 11109 card before you shop a heavier trailer than the car can honestly tow.

Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques

CURT - Install habits

Confirm the live card still lists your Cavalier year. Sunfire shares the sheet on listed years, and some sport packages sit outside the notes.

CURT - Wiring basics

Plan lights after the hitch. We do not stock a dedicated Cavalier-only trailer wiring harness we are willing to promise across every listed year on this page, so confirm a lights path before you invent a plug.

Match a one and one quarter inch shank to the Class 1 receiver, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.

The live Class 1 path for listed Cavalier years

CURT 11109 is a Class 1 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver for listed one thousand nine hundred ninety-five through two thousand five Chevrolet Cavalier years on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed Pontiac Sunfire years. On the hitch card it rates about two thousand pounds gross and two hundred pounds tongue. That is honest light-duty hardware sized for bike racks and small utility trailers that still respect the Chevrolet door sticker.

Read the live exclusion notes before you order. The CURT sheet calls out Cavalier LS Sport and Z24 exceptions on some years, and Sunfire convertible plus GT coupe exceptions on some years. If your badge sits in those notes, stop and confirm fitment rather than forcing a shared Class 1 path.

If the badge in the driveway says Sunfire instead of Cavalier, open our Sunfire buyers guide for that badge-first path on the same 11109 card. This page stays focused on Cavalier owners and only links Cavalier year landers that already return here.

We do not stock a dedicated Cavalier-only trailer wiring harness that we are willing to promise across every listed year on this page. Plan lights as a confirm-first step after the hitch.

How to shop without getting lost

Step 1Read the door sticker

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

Step 2Open 11109 for listed years

Confirm the live Class 1 card still shows your Cavalier year and that exclusions do not apply.

Step 3Confirm lights

No dedicated Cavalier harness is promised across every year here. Confirm a lights path before the first night tow.

Step 4Keep trailers honest

Two thousand pounds on the hitch card is not a blank cheque. Many Cavalier stickers sit lower.

Receiver

One and one quarter inch Class 1

11109 opens a one and one quarter inch tube. Racks, pins, covers, and mounts must match that opening.

  • About two thousand pounds GTW on the hitch card
  • About two hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card
  • Light-duty Class 1 hardware under the Chevrolet sticker

Wiring

Confirm-first lights

We do not promise a dedicated Cavalier trailer wiring harness across every listed year on this store today. Plan lights after the hitch with a confirmed path.

  • See the wiring harness guide
  • Ask before inventing a plug

Year pages that already exist

These Cavalier year landers are already live. We only link pages that return on this store.

Always confirm the live hitch card still lists Cavalier for your year before you order. Sibling Sunfire notes and sport-package exclusions on the sheet still matter.

Accessories that match the receiver

Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. Ball mounts must match that one and one quarter inch opening. Soft rubber plugs versus decorative covers get a deeper walk-through on our receiver plug versus cover tips page.
