Ok so we have a 2000GTP, and after a long road trip, I found out the suspension is not really strong enough in the back to handle as much cargo as I figured it would. We had about 600lbs of tools in the trunk and 400lbs of Luggage and Passengers in the car. Felt like I was smacking the bump stops at every large bump. I have a small utility trailer that I normally put behind my 88 Fiero GT with a 2.8 N/A 5spd, and have had no major issues towing at up to 120mph with the trailer on the back loaded. No I am not exaggerating or kidding, and I don't do this every time I tow, but I wanted to see how the trailer reacted at extremes. Video link http://captfiero.com/videos/mycar/speedtest.wmv
I did some reading on here and people have worries about the 4th gear in the trans, which really does concern me, however for the most part we don't usually put more than about 500-750lbs of stuff on the trailer, its only rated for a max capacity of 1500lbs. I use it mostly for freeway runs between Portland Oregon and Surrey B.C.
The car is pretty much stock, we just did a bunch of little things last week, fresh oil change, new plugs, wires, installed a cone filter. Was going to do the trans fluid but after pulling the dipstick it was a nice red orange and smelled fresh so I left it for the time being.
So if you have a hitch or know someone that does, where did they get their hitch from, what did it cost. I'll be doing the install myself as its not exactly hard to install a hitch, I have done a few hitch installs on Fiero's.
