Pics of my HHR w/WinterForce Tires/Trailer Hitch

Here's my HHR with the WinterForce 16" tire package from TireRack and also a pic with my Hidden Hitch Trailer Hitch installed. Will also be adding spoked wheel covers soon.









LOL!! - After I took these pics today I had to go out and switch this Left Rear tire (shown in pic below) with the Right Front, noticed I had the rotation in the wrong direction!

Cool, I'm starting to like the white more and more. I may be wrong, but I think that the tire in the last picture is monted on the wrong side of the car. It appears to be on the left side and should be on the right. BUT. I may be wrong.

Yes, you are correct and very observant, see my caption above that photo.

I bought that from etrailers.com, I really didn't shop around much, got the hitch for about $130 and the wiring kit for $25. That hitch is really heavy, it's got some heavy duty metal in it.

Pulled my utility trailer (a 4.5 ft. x 8 ft. - 2000 lb. capacity) aluminimum frame with wooden stake sides with approx. 400 lbs. in it, couldn't tell it was back there, even felt good braking.

Hey there, I appreciate all your pics. Perhaps you could do a how-to thread on the trailer hitch and wiring?

That's already been done by my "mentor" TomsHHR.

Right Here: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/deleted-threads-41/how-install-trailer-hitch-5928/

Also if you go to the etrailer.com site there is a video and the instruction sheet.

I just wish they had the video back then, but well into the third winter with my HHR.
And still got the go when you need it.


Just do not follow my deer hits........
