How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Why a city hatch like the Spark usually lands on a Class 1 receiver for bike racks and light utility trailers, then still respects the door-sticker tow limit.
Watch on YouTube →Shopping a trailer hitch for a Chevrolet Spark in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT Class 1 card. We stock CURT 11433 for listed 2016 through 2022 Spark years with a one and one quarter inch receiver, two thousand pounds gross trailer weight, and two hundred pounds of tongue weight on the hitch card. That is the strongest dedicated Spark hitch qty on this shelf right now. We do not invent a second Spark hitch SKU or a dedicated Spark wiring harness when the live catalogue does not show one in stock.
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 Spark card below.

| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Class 1 reality | This is a light-duty Class 1 hitch. Plenty of Spark owners want a bike rack or a small utility trailer. Do not invent a Class 3 truck hitch for this hatch. |
| Year window | 11433 lists 2016 through 2022. Confirm the door sticker before you treat an older Spark as automatic. |
| Receiver size | One and one quarter inch tube. Match pins, locks, covers, and rack shanks to that size. |
| Wiring gap | We are not inventing an in-stock Spark-specific harness on this page. If you need trailer lights, confirm a live harness card or a shop lighting plan before you buy. |
| Door sticker | Hitch class is not the Chevrolet tow limit. Read the door sticker before you load tongue weight. |
| Short bumper | Sparks sit low and short. Plan ball-mount height carefully so a rack or trailer does not scrape on steep cottage ramps. |
| Volt path | Chevrolet Volt stays on its own buyer guide. Do not stretch Spark cards onto a Volt. |
| Install habits | Use the CURT install techniques video and the weekend checklist. Recheck hardware after the first trips with hitch bolt torque tips. |
| Earlier years | We do not invent an in-stock Spark hitch outside the live 11433 fit list. |
Year jumps we publish that overlap the live Spark hitch card. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker.
