right now I plan on selling my 95 RS with a few mods to get a 1st gen GSX or GST. My question is, is it possible to tow a small trailer for my dirtbike with one? The max weight of the trailer and bike combined would be around 500 pounds at most. My only other option is to buy a truck :barf: which would be really lame.
 
Your car, do what you want (safely). You shouldn't but it can and has been done plenty of times. How good are your brakes?
 
Thank you for posting this.


I plan to put a hitch on my GVR4.... just for hating to commense when I go down the track.


(If you can run down the track with a hitch....)
 
They are right, its your car. do as you wil, but its just wrong to have anything 2 door that doesn't have a truck bed pulling a car. Atleast you have. Some tourqe to back it up. But I've seen a 93Mazda rx-7 with a hitch on it. I almost cried.
 
If someone gave me $150 to buy the hitch, I'd have one on my car by now. I was actually going to order one today (still debating on it), but the wiring for my crank position sensor decided to wander into my timing belt. Not the worlds cheapest repair.
 
I personally think you're nuts. But hey, it's your car, your boat. Why do you care what people think if you're going to do it anyway? some will laugh, some will cry. At the end of the day, it's yours to do whatever you want.
 
As long as you keep it in the right gear, you will be fine. About one gear lower than normal should be enough to keep your drivetrain from working too hard.
 
A 20min trip in flat Florida to the lake and a couple of tows up the boat ramp doesn't seem like that big a deal to me. Good luck towing that thing up some of the steep grades around here to the Columbia River, or worse, down them...that boat will be driving the car. OMG
 
I will tune back in once we have video LOL. I'm not gonna lie...if I saw that taking place at the lake I'd be a little confused/concerned/sad/giggly and any other emotion that would seem justifiable LOL
