I've got one on my car, it's not visible with the bar taken out. I've towed a trialer with a motorcycle to shows quite a few times.
I'll have to look at it when I get back home tomorrow to see what brand/model it is. I think I bought it from a member here many years ago.

Don't listen to all the people who say 'don't do it', as sometimes you just have limited options. And this option isn't as bad as people make it out to be, ...

I'm going to take it off of my car one of these days & may be open to selling it to ya for a discount if you're interested. I'll have to look at it when I get back home tomorrow to see what brand/model it is. I think I bought it from a member here many years ago.

I agree...if you need to tow a small trailer every once in a while it makes the car a lot more usefull. Its not something you do because you want to but something you do because you need to.

BTW I have never seen one on a TA before (I have seen a few on Camaros...remember I am in south GA...I saw a 3rd Gen Z28 pulling a bass boat once!) Pontiac Fan if you have any pics I would like to see them just for the hell of it.

hidden hitch makes one that is pretty hidden. the bar is flat so its not a big square hole in the back. i have one for my T/A, but haven't installed it. i got it to tow a tiny trailer for trips and possibly to tow a motorcycle i was goin to buy

GM test vehicles often tow so I don't see why you can't. It is definitely economically. Can't tow anything over 2K lbs in ANY case due to safety margins even if you modify the car to do this.

I would be very careful about towing in hilly areas. It is asking for trouble braking downhill while towing in our cars.
