How'd you get a hitch on it? Was there any cutting of the rear bumper involved?

[ah665]

no. you cant even tell it on there. someone posted pretty detailed pics of their black ss/tc that they just put on. im sure if u search you can find the thread. you cant tell its there until you fasten the insert/ball, which you obviously only put on when you are ready to connect the trailer anyways.

for some reason i was thinking bout this yesturday

High rise + trailer? Rear visibility must be next to nothing.

What brand of hitch did you buy? I NEED one for mountain bikes! I thought I was going to end up buying a truck or going with a ugly roof rack.

for sure. no seeing out the rearview. my new ss/tc has low-rise tho, which is alittle better.

I am planning on selling my 98 blazer lt and getting a 2010 cobalt ss. And I was hopeing to tow my small 4x8 trailer with my 04 kx 250 dirt bike. This car out powers my blazer! lol 4.3 190 hp 250 tq tow rating of 5500 cobalt ss 2.0 260 hp 260tq tow rating of 1200 I think gm says. But still my bike and trailer is no heavier than 3 more adult people in the car.

to answer your question.... My 95 subaru with 135hp coudl haul my snowmobiles with ease. these cars have more than enough to haul stuff with. more power than the 80's trucks that would haul campers etc.. so yeah, it might look funny, but whatever, they'll do it with no problem at all.

[turboss09]

When i first got my ss i was glancing through the manual and it said not to tow at all if you have a manual trans

[Acey]

Well that's one thing the short first gear is good for... towing.

The transmission is said to be the limiting factor on these cars. The engine is plenty powerful, but that doesn't help if you grenade your gearbox.
