CURT parts for the Oldsmobile Silhouette
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55355 ($77.63 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Silhouette's factory connector for 1997 through 2004. No cutting, no scotch-locks.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-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.
Oldsmobile Silhouette hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Oldsmobile Silhouette?
It depends on the year. CURT 13344 covers 1997 through 2004, a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver rated to 4,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a Silhouette with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (400 lb on CURT 13344), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13344 a novice install, about 30 minutes with hand tools and a jack. 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 Silhouette tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 4,000 lb, but the Silhouette's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
