Watch these CURT videos first
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). The CURT 13424 install was filmed on a GMC Acadia — the same hitch family covers earlier Traverse years. Later CURT 13433 installs involve fascia work, so the fascia-trim clip belongs here even though a dedicated 13433 Traverse film is not on the channel today.

How to Trim Fascia
Later Traverse installs (CURT 13433) call for fascia removal. Watch this before you pry plastic on a cold Canadian morning.

Class basics before you choose CURT 13424 or CURT 13433 and read Chevrolet’s tow limit for your trim.

Watch on YouTube →Traverse years and hitch shopping
Traverse hitch shopping splits cleanly in our store. CURT 13424 covers 2009–2017 Traverse years (shared with Acadia, Enclave, and Outlook notes on the card). CURT 13433 covers 2018–2023 Traverse plus the 2024 Traverse Limited and matching Enclave years.
We publish hitch landers for 2009–2015 and 2017–2023, plus a dedicated 2024 Traverse Limited page. A 2016 lander is not live. The redesigned 2024-and-newer Traverse (non-Limited) is not landered here yet — do not assume CURT 13433 fits that new body.
| Years | What we usually stock |
|---|---|
| 2018–2023 and 2024 Limited | Class 3: CURT 13433 with a two-inch receiver (up to 5,000 lb GTW and 750 lb tongue on the card). Install notes call for fascia and exhaust work — budget time and patience. |
| 2009–2017 | Class 3: CURT 13424 with a two-inch receiver. Shared Acadia and Enclave years appear on the same card. Some installs lower the exhaust and remove a fascia panel. |
| Wiring we stock | CURT 56027 for listed 2009–2012 Traverse years. CURT 56245 for listed 2013–2017 Traverse years. Custom harness coverage for 2018-and-newer is thinner — confirm on the year lander. |
| Brake control | CURT 51422 for listed Acadia, Enclave, and Traverse years on the card when you add a brake controller. |
Never exceed Chevrolet’s tow rating for your trim, drivetrain, and tow package. Treat the hitch as a ceiling, not a target.

Canada install reality check
Free shipping across Canada from Lots of Parts. CURT 13433 is a fascia job — warm the plastic if it is below freezing, bag every Torx screw, and do not force clips. If a sensor harness or exhaust hanger fights you past the CURT sheet, stop and call a shop. Print the weekend install checklist before Saturday morning.
