Trailer Hitch
I was wondering if anyone has a hitch on their SS.
I'm aware that GM say's no trailer towing behind SSs (or for that matter 5 speeds ) but I have a hitch mounted bike carrier. It would however be interesting to know why no trailer towing. You would think a small lightweight trailer would be no problem. |
You would have to notch out a significant portion of the rear lower fascia to install a trailer hitch. I can only imagine that would not look very attractive.

Sorry, very wrong!

Very nice, I thought I'd have to do a hidden hitch thing with a square cut-out in the rear shroud. Agree a picture from a lower view would be great.

Hi Rommer
Thanks to you and everyone else for the replys. Could you tell me what hitch you used? I've seen listings from four different hitch companies, and they could be just a touch different. |
Great find. What weight is the hitch rated at?

Quick question. Would GM void the warranty if they see you have a hitch on the SS because it says in the brochure that the SS is not rated for towing ???
I know they cant void your warranty "just" for having that but if you did have a trans, suspension, or any other drivetrain problem i think they would blame it on towing. |
