How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match Class 3 hardware to the Jimmy door sticker and the live 13020 card before you shop a heavier trailer than the GMC can honestly tow.

Shopping a trailer hitch for a GMC Jimmy in Canada? Start with the door-sticker tow limit on this compact SUV, then open the live CURT Class 3 shelf we stock for listed Jimmy years. CURT 13020 is the in-stock Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed nineteen ninety-five through two thousand one GMC Jimmy years on the live card, alongside listed Chevrolet Blazer and Oldsmobile Bravada years on that same sheet. The hitch card rates about five thousand pounds gross trailer weight and five hundred pounds tongue weight, and it is also compatible with weight distribution at about six thousand pounds gross and six hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card. Door sticker first. Hitch second. Many Jimmy owners run bike racks or light utility trailers, so treat the hitch rating as hardware capacity under the GMC sticker.

Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the live card still lists your Jimmy year. Blazer and Bravada share the sheet on listed years, so read the badge and year notes carefully.

Plan lights after the hitch. We do not stock a dedicated Jimmy-only trailer wiring harness we are willing to promise across every listed year on this page, so confirm a lights path before you invent a plug.

Match a two inch shank to the Class 3 receiver, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.
Watch on YouTubeThe live Class 3 path for listed Jimmy years
CURT 13020 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver for listed nineteen ninety-five through two thousand one GMC Jimmy years on the live card. The same sheet also covers listed Chevrolet Blazer years and listed Oldsmobile Bravada years. On the hitch card it rates about five thousand pounds gross and five hundred pounds tongue, with weight-distribution notes at about six thousand pounds gross and six hundred pounds tongue. That is honest mid-duty Class 3 hardware sized for bike racks, cargo carriers, and light utility trailers that still respect the GMC door sticker.
If the badge in the driveway says Blazer or Bravada instead of Jimmy, confirm the live 13020 title still lists that badge and year before you order. We already keep a Chevy Blazer buyers guide on this store for shoppers who want that badge first. This page stays focused on Jimmy owners and only links Jimmy year landers that already return here.
We do not stock a dedicated Jimmy-only trailer wiring harness that we are willing to promise across every listed year on this page. Plan lights as a confirm-first step after the hitch. Ask before inventing a plug, and test lights before the first Canadian night tow.

How to shop without getting lost
Step 1Read the door sticker
Find the GMC tow and tongue numbers for your Jimmy. The hitch cannot raise that limit.
Step 2Open 13020 for listed years
Confirm the live Class 3 card still shows your Jimmy year on the sheet.
Step 3Confirm lights
No dedicated Jimmy harness is promised across every year here. Confirm a lights path before the first night tow.
Step 4Keep trailers honest
Five thousand pounds on the hitch card is not a blank cheque. Many Jimmy stickers sit lower.
Receiver
Two inch Class 3
13020 opens a two inch tube. Racks, pins, covers, and mounts must match that opening.
- About five thousand pounds GTW on the hitch card
- About five hundred pounds tongue on the hitch card
- Weight distribution notes at about six thousand and six hundred on the hitch card
Year honesty
Live Jimmy landers
We only link year landers that already return on this store. Today that means GMC Jimmy landers for nineteen ninety-nine, two thousand, and two thousand one.
- Confirm the live card still lists your year
- Blazer and Bravada share the 13020 card on listed years
- A missing year lander is not a fitment promise
Wiring
Confirm-first lights
We do not promise a dedicated Jimmy trailer wiring harness across every listed year on this store today. Plan lights after the hitch with a confirmed path, not a guess from a different GM badge.
- See the wiring harness guide
- Ask before inventing a plug
- Test lights before the first Canadian night tow
Year pages that already exist
These Jimmy year landers are already live. We only link pages that return on this store.
Always confirm the live hitch card still lists Jimmy for your year before you order. Sibling Blazer and Bravada notes on the sheet still matter when that is what you drive. Earlier Jimmy years can sit on the CURT sheet without a live year lander here today.
Accessories that match the receiver
Keep the tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a kit sized for your tube. Ball mounts must match that two inch opening. Soft rubber plugs versus decorative covers get a deeper walk-through on our receiver plug versus cover tips page.
