Cadillac CTS-V - V hauls more than just the mail

Here goes 2 heavy weight sport bikes for 250 miles each way for a weekend of riding in Arkansas. See what the kw v3 system is made of this weekend.

Truck Motor FTW!

haha, cmon now..... look at the color on those things

They were burning the corner of my eye

Wow! Looks like I need a Kendon instead of a truck!

What part of AR? We go every year or so. Stayed in Morrilton, Deer and Hot Springs. HWY 123 into Jasper is amazing!

I shed a tear for every V with a tow hitch.

Is that a Yamaha QT50 moped? It looks just like my old one except a different color.

Are you missing the front upper chrome trim for your front grill or is it painted black?

Are you in Missouri? The neighborhood looks like it is and I am trying to tell from your plate

Are both of these tow hitches by Hidden Hitch, Part Number 60830?
I'm interested since i do a lot of road cycling.

Agreed, but If I didn't have a truck to DD I would have a tow hitch on the V. Combo looks pretty badass with a V pulling a set of bikes I must say.

:hail:Love them Chrome rims!!

Yes near liberty

Not me

hahah so this is why GM gave us a 46lb flywheel! the practicality of the this thread makes me sick.. it already has 4 doors do you really need to use it as a tow vehicle as well haha

Plastic dip paint, fake chrome was peeling.

Helps get closer to 50/50 weight ratio.

Is that a Yamaha QT50 moped? It looks just like my old one except a different color.
Yep, QT50 moped. Gf's grandparents bought it new in the 70s and sat for years in their shed until I wanted a ped for the pits. Its a great little bike, but shitty brakes.

Mine is a Curt pn 11307. As far as I can tell, its more or less the same as the hidden hitch.

I do need to use it as a tow vehicle. Ironically enough, I sold my Cummins and now have this... Someday Ill have another Cummins and a big enclosed, someday....

I am also an offender. She does not seem to have any issues pulling my bikes.

The V is pretty great at towing bikes around. Better than any other car I've owned in fact.

Yes near liberty

Ah, that's why I've never seen you around. The Plaza is as far north as I usually make it

how much is the car rated to tow? isn't this hitch setup just 4 lag bolts and an inner plate on either side in the trunk pinching the body? I thought about buying a hitch but I'm too scared that the weight of a bike would rip the bolts if a hard stop or something happened.

Ya 6 bolts 200 tongue and 2000 total. Doesn't seem to stress anything when moving from a standstill.

Yup, no issues and I can pass other cars with my setup. My bikes are under 450 and my trailer (bikelug) is under 200.

hahah not gonna lie.. im just jealous, i dont have any extra $$ for toys other than the V

if you go to track days enough you will see vettes and 911's with hitches as well.

can I get a picture of the back of the car? With out the trailer, and with the hitch out? I would like to see what the reciever looks like on the back of the V before I pull the trigger and get one of these! Thanks :usa:
