I put a hitch on my 2007 LS 5-speed many years ago and have pulled all kinds of things around, going VERY easy on the clutch. 320,000 kms on the original clutch no problemo.
HHR brakes have no problem slowing heavy trailers but make sure your rear brakes are properly adjusted. I manually adjust them twice a year and it always needs a few clicks. My auto-adjusters have never worked.
With the automatic I wouldn't use overdrive or do long trips or go over 60 mph / 100 kph, the trans might overheat and go boom.

I have one that I bought many years ago for our 2008 LT, and never installed it. You can have it for free if you can either come get it or meet us half way since we are in the DFW area. I guess I could ship it to you but that might cost more than it is worth.
