Replying to: taubo (Oct 01, 2009 9:39 am) Apparently the hitch is different than an 09, so that was the first issue and had to be returned for correct unit. Incorrectamundo, the same hitch fits all Nox 2006-2010. Then the GM wiring ordered was not correct plug. They claimed no plug lead available for 4 cyl El shoppo probably didn't know the '10 takes a new style plug, probably tried the '09 style or something else that didn't fit, and ultimately found out the harness can only be bought from GM for $100+ which just shot their profit margin out their exhaust. so I authorized to splice into the lead in back of vehicle. then they wanted to charge extra for programming. The ol' spliceroni - shop saves profit installing gypsy brand after market product. As for "no towing" with the 4cyl, try reading the towing section in your manual. |

Replying to: geohov (Oct 08, 2009 5:09 pm) http://www.thehitchstore.com/hitches-trailer-hitches-c-20_22.html I fit perfectly. The bolts that come with it thread into nuts already welded into the body. It can be installed in half an hour, but you will need a big torque wrench to do it right. I am still trying to get the wiring harness I need, but I did get the dealer to program the computer to power up the connector. They had it for two hours one day and all day a few days later. They had to download new software to their service computer in order to work on the 2010. The first time they sent me home with the trailer lights working, but my cruise control had been disabled. My guess is that they really struggled trying to figure it out. |

Replying to: geohov (Oct 09, 2009 2:00 pm) The hitch fits right under the bumper and if you buy the right hitch, it will be hidden except for the receiver. Curt MFG just came out with an after market harness that supposedly has the unique fitting to the wiring behind the driver taillight. Fits the Terrain also P/N CT56094. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-Chevy-Equinox-Trailer-Tow-Hitch-Wiring-Light- - -Kit_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem27ac2b98c9QQitemZ170392262857QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5- - fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories There's one up on eBay for 19.00 and included both sections. |

Replying to: smithpe (Oct 09, 2009 3:50 am) OK. I have a dealer installed hitch with a 1" receiver. Maybe the 2" receiver is rated for more than 1500 lbs. It's not the size of the receiver that determines the load, it's the design and construction of the hitch. A Class 3 hitch will be rated for 3500-4500 lbs, far in excess of the Chevy suggested towing capacity. What Chevy is saying is that the vehicle tranny and brakes are not designed for loads over 1500, and 100lb without trailer brakes. Just show the dealer the manual and tell him to forget the waiver. |
