I'm all for not treating the car like it's a high end exotic. It is only an old outdated f-body, but it's not a tow vehicle. The car has enough weak spots already without stressing it out with towing duties, too.

If for some reason you HAVE to move, then by all means, do it and remove the hitch later.

Do it, ...
Hidden Hitch makes a good one, that you can't even see when the drawbar is removed.

i had wondered about this. not for towing though, mainly so i can put a bike rack, for my bike (go figure) if i don't feel like riding around my house. the hidden hitch thing seems like a good way to go. and i don't want to use a bike rack with straps.

good to know.

i still can't believe the docking of the boat in the SS though. wow. the poster was great.

I'd like to see that guy with the boat and the SS go up the ramp that would be funny.

U-Haul makes you pays like 80cents a mile on top of your 19.95 and gas! Best deal if moving across town, but no farther. Use another company like budget or penske, pay 500 bucks for a 16ft and gas and be done with it.

I wouldn't do it ,but if you got to go for it. You Probably want to get some fresh brake pads on. An F-body towing across country will KILL your front pads.

Uhaul truck rental places also install hitches, they have all sizes for cars and trucks, atleast the ones here do, but while ur there u should compare the price of the hitch, install and trailer rental,, to the box truck and car hauler price( a car hauler is like 50 bucks) and think about if its worth it to risk the car, but i think it could be done if you try to put the weight over the trailor axle and not the bumper and be carefull, if your cars an auto i would cruise in drive not od to be easier on it goin up and down hills, the same place that installs the hitch should also be able to tell u what kinda load you can haul good luck gettn where ur goin

I remember reading something about my Z when I first got it about how if you're in an auto you shouldn't haul anything (I guess without a tranny cooler) but if you're in a manaul the most you should haul is 1,000 pounds. This may have just been on a stock vehicle, but still.

All u-haul hitches and hitch accessaries are made by curt manufacturing. So a uhaul hihitch is just a curt hitch with a different sticker

hell id do it if i didnt have 2 trucks. I wouldnt think twice about the drivetrain. If its a auto its pretty much the same motor trans and rear end as a 1500 chevy 2 wheel drive pickup and you dont hear them saying not too tow with them. i would just worry about putting too much tongue weight on the unibody but on that note i used to tow with my 02 chevy venture and it was a unibody. I pulled a 6000lbs with it once. You will be fine a break controller would help with stopping.

Damn, almost daily I kick myself for not taking a picture of an old guy I saw towing a boat with his C6.
Seriously.

Hidden hitch makes one for the F-body that isn't really noticable when not being used. I had one on my 02 WS-6 for about a year simply because I didnt have a truck at the time and that was my cheapest option. Besides, it was kinda cool to pull up at track days pulling my bike with a cammed T/A. Not to mention that it bolts on with 6 bolts and comes right back off like it was never there. Do it man.

I've used Penske truck rental twice to move across town. Cheaper than U-haul, and their trucks are really nice. Much nicer than the 1980's Ford F350 van POS that uhaul will try to rent you

do you have any pics of it? what type of trailer/setup was it? gas mileage?

I did this in the past when i rode dirtbikes and had a 95 mustang. had a "hidden hitch" on it which wasnt noticable when the receiver was removed. people laugh at me? how bout when i make 550rwhp and i drag you along the hiway pulling 2 dirtbikes?

lol anyway I do trackdays too. i have a daully and an bigger enclosed trailer (for my race car) I use now for closer events. looking to cheapen things up for next season. I could throw it in the bed of the truck but it still gets like 12mpg. my 6spd ta gets 29 on the hiway. do you know approx how much drop there is towing a small trailer? im actually going to FL to ride track in 3 weeks...thats why im considering this. fuel is gonna cost a fortune if i use my truck. plus i do a lot of street riding where I have to meet people an hour away sometimes. it would be nice to just load the bike up on the trailer and cruise out there to meet and then unload it and ride. so the money i spend on a hitch and small trailer is money I was thinking of spending anyway for this purpose.
