Shopping a trailer hitch for a Saturn Vue in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open the live CURT cards that still list 2002 through 2007 Vue. CURT 13591 is the Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver, rated about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight, and it also lists Equinox, Terrain, and Torrent years on the same card. CURT 12291 is the Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver on that same Vue window. Treat the Saturn tow limit as the final word even when the crossover looks ready for bikes and a light weekend trailer.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the Vue cards below.

A 2002 through 2007 Saturn Vue often lands on the older Equinox-family shelf. Live CURT 13591 is the Class 3 two inch path; live CURT 12291 is the Class 2 one and one quarter inch path on the same years.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 13591 is the Class 3 hitch for listed 2002 through 2007 Saturn Vue years. The live card rates about three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight on a two inch receiver, with weight-distribution notes on the card and novice install difficulty. The same SKU also lists Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, and Pontiac Torrent years, so do not be surprised when the product title names the later crossovers first.
CURT 12291 is the Class 2 hitch for the same 2002 through 2007 Vue window on a one and one quarter inch receiver. Gross and tongue numbers on the live card still read about three thousand five hundred and three hundred fifty, but the smaller tube changes which bike racks and ball mounts fit without an adapter. Chevrolet Equinox already keeps its own buyers guide for the shared shelf. Confirm your door-sticker year against the live lists rather than assuming every Vue shares both SKUs.
| Topic | What we tell shoppers |
|---|---|
| Door sticker first | A hitch is not a blank cheque. Read the Saturn tow limit, then open hitch versus vehicle tow rating. |
| Shared Equinox shelf | Live 13591 and 12291 also list Equinox, Terrain, and Torrent years. Vue shoppers share the hitch SKUs but Equinox keeps its own buyers guide. |
| Two inch versus one and one quarter | 13591 uses a two inch opening. 12291 uses one and one quarter inch. Match accessories to the tube you buy. See the receiver size guide. |
| Bike rack reality | Many Vue hitch buyers only want bikes or a small cargo box. Open hitch for bike rack only. |
| Clearance | Hatch and bumper still matter on a compact crossover. Open hitch bike rack clearance tips. |
| Wiring gap | We do not currently stock a dedicated Vue four-flat on this shelf. Nearby Equinox harness cards cover later years. Start with the wiring harness guide and a plug tester. |
| Install habits | Live 13591 notes novice install. Recheck hardware after the first trips. See hitch bolt torque tips. |
Year jumps we publish for the 2002 through 2007 Vue years on the live 13591 and 12291 cards. Open the lander that matches the model year on your door sticker, then confirm the live hitch card still lists that year. We only link landers that already exist.
If you buy 13591, keep the two inch tube covered when empty, pin what you insert, and quiet chatter with a two inch anti-rattle kit. If you buy 12291, switch to one and one quarter inch covers, pins, and mounts. Ball mounts must match the opening you installed, not a leftover shank from a truck drawer.
Parts-counter summary: match the 2002 through 2007 Vue year to 13591 or 12291, respect the shared Equinox-family listing on the live cards, pick tube size before you shop accessories, keep Equinox shoppers on their own guide, respect the Saturn door sticker under the hitch rating, plan wiring carefully because a dedicated Vue harness is not on this shelf today, and never let hitch tube looks outvote the sticker.
