Talking Tow Hitch

Hi All,
I've read that the towing capacity for the HHR is 1000lbs.
I'm wondering if any one got a H2R with a hitch already attached or has purchased an aftermarket tow hitch. Maybe it's too early to look for these parts? I'm looking for a 2 in tow hitch to carry my bikes on road trips.

If any one has heard of anything or seen anything. Let me know. I would really appreciate it.

Tow Hitch

It's too early in production cycle to expect much in accessories, I'm sure there will be such items later in production run. It will be a popular car.

This is true.

I’m going to email all the vendors I know regarding the tow hitch and intakes (asked about earlier). Do you guys have anything more you’d want to know before I email all of them?

They will be coming

My buddy works for the company that owns Reese and Draw-Tite. They are currently using my HHR for their mock up to develop a towing system. I am guessing it will be at least another month before they are ready to start production since the prototype hitch is being installed this morning. i will keep you all posted.

Thats awesome ohsolo! Let me know how it comes out. I'm hopping I can get one by the end of the month. Taking a biking trip to New Mexico and I don't really want to put the bikes on the top the car. I would much rather have a hitch rack.

Well the estimated production date is not for about 2 months I am told. The hitch will be a Class 1 hitch (small receiver). So, looks like you are not going to get it by the end of the month, but it will be coming.

Hi All, Just wanted to let you know that e-trailer has got hitches avaible for the HHR sometime this week of 10/3. Kind of too late for me though. I'm road trippin this week and I'll be fitting my bikes in the back for now. I'll take a count of how many HHR's I see and I'll try to take pictures of them too. :)
