2012 GMC Canyon hitch questions
Which trailer hitch fits a 2012 GMC Canyon?
CURT 13252 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight.
How much can a 2012 GMC Canyon tow with this hitch?
The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb gross trailer weight and 400 lb tongue weight, or 6,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Canyon has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.
Do I need a wiring harness for the 2012 GMC Canyon?
If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55510 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Canyon's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
