Pick your Trailblazer year
Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.
Class 1 or Class 3 on a Trailblazer?
Class 1 is the lighter one, with a 1-1/4 inch receiver and 2,000 lb of trailer. It's plenty for a bike rack or a small cargo carrier. Class 3 moves you to a 2-inch receiver and 2,000 lb, which is what you want for a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat, and it takes the common 2-inch racks and carriers without an adapter. Either way the Trailblazer's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling, and the lower number wins.
CURT parts for the Chevrolet Trailblazer
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55515 ($35.27 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Trailblazer's factory connector for 2002 through 2008. 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 Trailblazer hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Chevrolet Trailblazer?
It depends on the year. CURT 11612 is the newest, for 2021 through 2026, 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 a Trailblazer 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 (200 lb on CURT 11612), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is the most you'd want on it.
Can I install the hitch myself?
CURT rates CURT 11612 professional, about 90 minutes, so expect some trim or drilling work. The main body tucks behind the bumper so only the receiver shows. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a Trailblazer tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated from 2,000 lb to 5,000 lb depending on the part, but the Trailblazer's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
