Towing with an HHR....
Hello all, i was wondering if any one has used there HHR for towing, if so what do you pull? Anyone pull a trailer if so what size and total weight of the trailer and cargo? Can you add air shocks to the rear?
How was the gas mileage affected?
Im thinking about pulling a 5x8 aluminum trailer with 2 bikes on it one being a 260 lb dual sport the other a 500 lb street bike plus mics stuff like a cooler gas can grill....can a 2.2 HHR handle it?

early 80's Cavalier air bags will fit the rear springs no problem,,just slip inside no dissassembly required.....I pull a #800 harley around on a #200 lb foldable trailer and get 27 mpg........but I also have the SS..auto...only mod I did was to shim the reciever with speed tape (aluminum) to deaden the banging around back there.

Thats my story..........cant prove you towed with it...I think its because of the turbo, some folks would forget theres something behind them and spool that sucker up which would probably result in breakage of parts or tires of which neither is desirable at hwy speeds

towing with an HHR (2.4 Ltier)
I tow stuff all the time in a 5x8 trailer.Also the roof racks come in handy with a 5" 1x1 You must use common sense. My trailer has a loading rack, with is great for holding a spare tie, or loading a lawnmower, as it lowers to the ground. However, it it a huge wind brake going down the road. I can only expect 18-20 miles/gallon in a rural setting.I do miss my pick-up truckcheck out my gallery by clicking on the camera on the left. Just remember, IT AIN"T A TRUCK!
