A ball mount is the essential link between your hitch and trailer, providing a secure connection for towing. To select the right ball mount for your SUV, ensure it’s compatible with your existing setup, including the receiver size, coupler size, trailer height, and weight capacity.

A hitch pin is essential for securely fastening the ball mount shank or other towing accessories to your Chevy Equinox's receiver hitch. Some ball mounts come with a hitch pin included, if not, be sure to select one that matches the required hole size and length for a proper fit.

Keep your Chevrolet Equinox tow hitch in good condition with a receiver tube cover. It prevents dirt and debris from getting into the opening when the hitch isn’t being used. When picking a hitch cover, ensure it matches the size of your receiver tube for a secure fit.

1. Can you put a trailer hitch on a Chevrolet Equinox?

Yes, you can install a trailer hitch on a Chevrolet Equinox. Whether you're looking to tow a small utility trailer, bike rack, or cargo carrier, you’ll need to choose a hitch that is compatible with your specific Equinox model and year. Make sure to check the towing capacity and choose the right hitch and accessories to ensure safe and effective towing.

2. How do I know what trailer hitch will fit my Chevrolet Equinox?

To find the ideal trailer hitch for your Chevy Equinox, simply use the CURT vehicle lookup tool located at the top of our trailer hitch page. This tool helps ensure compatibility by factoring in your Equinox’s year, style, and trim package.

3. Is the Chevy Equinox good for towing?

The Chevrolet Equinox can be a good option for towing, but it’s important to consider its towing capacity and the type of towing you plan to do. The towing capacity of the Equinox is typically around 1,500 lbs., depending on the engine and trim level.

This makes the Equinox suitable for smaller trailers, boats, or recreational vehicles, but it may not be the best choice for heavier loads. Before towing, it's important to ensure that you have the proper trailer hitch and accessories, and that you stay within the vehicle's towing limits to ensure safety and optimal performance.

4. Can I install a tow hitch myself? 

Absolutely! You can install a CURT hitch on your Chevy Equinox with the right tools and by following the included instructions. Some installations are straightforward, while others may require minor modifications. If you prefer, CURT’s network of professional installers can help you complete the job with ease.

5. How much does it cost to put a hitch on an Equinox? 

The cost to install a hitch on a Chevrolet Equinox can vary depending on several factors, including the type of hitch, whether you opt for professional installation, and your location. In total, the cost for both a hitch and professional installation on a Chevrolet Equinox can range from $250 to $800 or more, depending on the specific components you choose. To get an accurate estimate, it's best to check with a local dealership, auto parts store, or hitch installer.

6. Does the Equinox have a tow package?

Yes, the Chevrolet Equinox does offer a tow package, but it’s only available as an option with certain years, trims and engine configurations. If you're unsure whether your Equinox has the tow package, you can check the vehicle’s specifications or consult your dealership.

7. Can a Chevy Equinox tow 3,500 lbs.?

Some years and models of the Chevrolet Equinox can tow up to 3,500 pounds, but this capacity is only available with the 2.0L turbocharged engine and when equipped with the towing package. The base 1.5L engine has a lower towing capacity, typically around 1,500 pounds.

Make sure that your specific Equinox model is configured with these features, as not all trims come with the necessary components to tow at this capacity. Always check the owner's manual for the exact towing limits and guidelines for your vehicle.
