I have a 2007 cobalt SS. It's the 2.4l. I'm really wanting to get a dirt bike but I don't have a truck...I was wondering if it would be ok to tow a small trailer with a dirt bike on it (dirt bike is 200lbs). The sticker on the side of my door says maximum towing capacity (including occupants) of 891 lbs. So I'm trying to stay under that limit as much as I can. Would I be ok pulling a dirt bike and small trailer and not damaging anything? Thanks!

Why not rent a uhaul? It's not that much more expensive

You probably could, but borrowing a pickup would be easier.

But I'm not gonna rent a uhaul every time I want to go riding on my dirt bike. It would add up fast and be to much of a hassle every time

There are dirt bike racks that hook up like a hitch to your car so you wouldn't need a trailer and you would stay under the weight limit with both bike and rack on there.

Oh that's true! I saw some of those. It actually sounds like a really good idea. The only thing is since all of the weight is on the rear like that would my car bottom out or anything?
