Chevrolet Impala Trailer Hitch Buyer’s Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your Impala into the one that takes a bike rack or a small cargo carrier. CURT builds two hitches for the Chevrolet Impala from 2000 to 2020, Class 1, rated 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb, from $368.46 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.
CURT parts for the Chevrolet Impala
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 56046 ($58.34 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Impala's factory connector for 2006 through 2016. 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.
Chevrolet Impala hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Chevrolet Impala?
It depends on the year. CURT 12115 is the newest, for 2014 through 2020, and the table above matches every other year to its part. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on an Impala 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 an Impala tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 3,500 lb to 3,500 lb depending on the part, but the Impala's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
