Suzuki Equator Trailer Hitch Buyer's Guide (Canada)
A hitch turns your Equator into the one that takes a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat. CURT builds one hitch for the Suzuki Equator from 2009 to 2012, Class 3, rated 5,000 lb, from $266.26 CAD with free shipping anywhere in Canada.
Your year decides the part. Find it in the table, open the year page for the exact hitch, price and wiring, and you're done in a few minutes.

Each year page has the hitch, the harness and the ball mount that go together, with the price of each.
CURT parts for the Suzuki Equator
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55441 ($35.52 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Equator's factory connector for 2009 through 2012. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.
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.
Suzuki Equator hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Suzuki Equator?
It depends on the year. CURT 13241 covers 2009 through 2012, a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver rated to 5,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on an Equator with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (500 lb on CURT 13241), 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 13241 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 an Equator tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb, but the Equator's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
