    If you're still looking for a hitch, I was just ordering one for myself off of Hitchweb. I looked one up for you here: http://www.hitchweb.com/hitch_search...8/oid/8/bpid/6
    My friend recommended their website to me. He got his hitch in 1 business day and said the product and service is amazing. Hope this helps!

    So.... How retarded can we go as far as towing with our cars? Lets say you have giant front brakes, more power then most trucks, and a transmission cooler.

    if you put a class 3 hitch on i'd tow a car hauler without fear. 5000-6000lbs.

    I've towed cars with my fiero without the trailer and it was like it wasnt there.

    you will readily buckle the rear unibody rails with much over 500lb tongue weight. the class 1 will buckle the spare tire well with a heavy bike rack...
    gp/4t65e tow capacity is officially 1k iirc. the caddy/80e was rated to 3500lbs

    After reading this I'm glad I have never used one of those trailer hitch mounted trays to carry something to big for the trunk.
    I did use a bicycle rack mounted to the trailer hitch in the past for one bike.

    I only plan on towing a landscaping trailer with a go Kart and tools. That's about it.
