Trailer hitch install? Anyone?
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has installed a trailer hitch on their '08 GTS (or ES/DE) ?
If so, what make/model hitch? Drilling involved? Does the hitch frame show much beneath the car?
Just curious..
Thanks

I tryed to get one about 2months ago, and the 5 place I called told me they needed to get custom one because it's too new and companies haven't made one now.
But if you find out, tell us !

Doesn't the manual say something like "don't ever try to tow anything with this car!" ??? There's even a light on the dash shaped like a trailer (which I can only assume means "holy crap, you're towing something! Danger!" or something like that)...

now most people think about the obvious.. trailer hitch = towing something.. boat, personal watercraft, motorcycle
what alot of people dont realize is alot of cyclists like trailer hitches on their vehicles for bike racks. Most manufacturers now a days produce bike racks for the roof of cars, if you are like me you purchased your car causes it looks bada$$ without a rack on the roof... so you would then look for something like a trunk rack.. the problem you would run into is with our car the spoiler is too large and trunk is too short so no room for a rack...leaving the only and best possible way to haul your bike around... a trailer hitch rack
so i feel your pain looking for a hitch dude.. ill keep an eye out for ya
