Which CURT hitch fits your Chevrolet Cruze

Read year, body style, exhaust, and diesel notes first. Early Cruze years open CURT 11282 when the card excludes dual exhaust. Later gasoline Cruzes open CURT 11439, while the hatch uses CURT 11458. Diesel 2014 through 2015 years open CURT 11371. All four hitch cards use a one and one quarter inch receiver. Then match wiring: CURT 56214 for listed early Cruze and 2016 Limited years, and CURT 56354 for listed 2017 through 2019 hatch years.

Parts-counter notes before you click buy

Topic What we tell shoppers
Sedan versus hatch 11439 and 11458 are not the same body story. Read hatch on the card before you click buy.
Diesel exclusion 11439 and 11458 exclude diesel. 2014 through 2015 diesel opens 11371 instead.
Dual exhaust 11282 excludes dual-exhaust models. Look under the bumper before you assume the early card.
Verano share 11282 also lists Buick Verano years. That does not make every Verano note a Cruze shortcut the other way.
Receiver size One and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that size.
Door sticker Hitch class is not the Chevrolet tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight.
Malibu path Chevrolet Malibu keeps its own buyers guide. Do not swap Malibu Class 2 cards onto a Cruze.
Later sedan wiring Hatch wiring 56354 is hatch-specific. Do not invent a later sedan harness that is not on this shelf.
