I installed a small [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]trailer[/background][/color] hitch to my Energi. The main purpose is for our [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]bike[/background][/color] rack which connects via a trailer hitch. I sholud also have no problem pulling a small [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]light[/background][/color] weighttrailer with a few hundred pounds loaded. [/font][/color]

With trunk space being what it is (we all know what I mean) , It's a relief to have this and totally worth the 150.00 . 115.00 for the hitch and 35.00 for the electrical kit. Not sure why[color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]Amazon[/background][/color] says it won't fit the 2013 Engeri my guess is that it was never verified as [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]the car[/background][/color] is too new, I called CURT the maker of the hitch and they said it fits the Energi no problem. They are correct. No issues.[/font][/color]

It's really important to be sensible and to add that this hitch should not be [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]expected[/background][/color] to pull any more than what you might expect a small 4 cylinder [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]car[/background][/color] to pull. A small lightweighttrailer with a light load which is only a few hundred pounds at most or bike rack or [color=rgb(0,153,0)][background=transparent]Cargo Carrier[/background][/color] as an extension of the trunk.[/font][/color]

I recently installed the same hitch on my 2013 Energi. My only concern has been the necessary removal of the rear valance, the body part under the bumper. I assume this part was for under-car air flow, and to add stability to the lower edge of the rear fascia. Have you noticed any deformation of the fascia on your car? I haven't on mine, but wonder if over time the air flow will push it outward.
