There are other ways of doing it I would have to imagine.

 

My last camaro came with one but it was pretty well hidden with the RS body kit. However i would advise against putting a hitch on a cobalt, but you won't be the first to do so.

My recommendation, buy a Colorado. I bought one for work and towing crap like that. It was 14K brand new. Even with the little 2.8L engine and a 5speed you can still pull at least 3000 lbs. Plenty enough for a jetski and trailer.

Not to mention 30mpg, runs best on regular, and has like a 16 gallon tank.

 

just reminded me of this..haha

^^^ LMAO i forgot about that. sneaky im not claiming to have a degree in towing, but use some damn common sense. YES, you can tow with a FWD car, YES the ss has enough power to tow some things, but think about what you are freaking saying. how many vehicles advertised and obviously made to tow things are FWD or use 4 cylinders? NONE. do you think you have just unraveled this amazing secret no other human being has ever been able to find? rwd (or even better AWD), very torquey (sp?) vehicles are best for towing, period. with the extra weight put ON TOP OF the drive wheels, the vehicle will be much more driveable. then again i could be wrong and you could be towing something hitched to the front of your car in reverse perfectly fine.

 

I never claimed or unravled anything. You just make it sound like it's down right stupid when it really isn't as bad as it seems.

 

because it is downright stupid!

 

Why on God's green earth would you even want to put a trailer hitch on an SS/SC? I think you should go trade the car in and get a truck!

 

i had a rental colorado for a day with the I-5 that thing was a blast. if i was in the market for a small truck i would def. get a colorado

because its a great tow vehicle, DUH!

 

lol if i could afford a truck and a car together i would but unfortunately i cant and have to make do with what i got.

 

have you checked to see if there is a dock you can keep it at on the water where you will be using it?

 

I dont want to have to pay to dock it. I mean i most likely will be able to keep it at my girls uncles house at the bay. but i'd have to bring it back for the winter i just needed to know if it was possible to tow if i had to get it fixed or bring it back here for the winter.

 

sorry to bring that thread back, i went to the dealer yesterday to find out if i was able to put a hitch on my ss/sc and yes it can be done, GM priced my one after market one for 169.99$ CND + around 60 $ of installation. its not voiding any warranty, for the towing part, my girlfriend bought me a GT mountain bike and a bike rack for my birthday, guess what, i need a hitch, for the one who think its stupid and who says "you should buy a truck" well, who is the fucktart who buy a truck to tow a bike. well i'll get the hitch installed and i will post some picture.

 

w00t do it!

 

lol yeah i know its not like were gonna tow big campers and boats. Alls im trying to tow is a wave runner on a small trailer. couldnt cause any harm as light as that is on wheels.

 

any new info on this? I want to pull a tiny flat 4x6 trailer with a go kart on it. all in all it will probably be lighter than my stereo was when it was in the car. i need to know where to get wiring, i found plenty of hitches. I have a 06 ss/sc btw, and can't be told not to tow. I'll do it anyway

 

I thought about doing this aswell for the track. I just want to tow a tiny trailer big enough to fit a set of race wheels and tires and some tools. Thats not much weight at all, and I see vettes do it all the time. When the trailer is not on the car you can't even tell the hitch is on the car if you pull the ball assembly out.

 

buddy of mine in his redline recently put a hitch on his car. he uses it to haul things to his auto-x meets.

 

i think i puked in my mouth

 

do it.

 

Thats just the set up I need for the track but maybe with some rails.

 

i wouldnt do it....its like mainly an suv thing...i wouldnt want to **** up the ss/sc...maybe a base model i would do it on

 

i just want to tow a very small trailor for my four slicks......

 

i seen a ford tarus tow a 6 foot by 12foot long trailer and its fwd but anything can happen in michigan

 

has anybody found a hidden type hitch for the SC that does not require cutting the rear fascia?

 

I remember seeing a GM test Cobalt SS/SC and they had a hitch on it to pull the emissions equipment behind it. THey had to cut a nice chunk out of the rear fascia for it. I'm not sure if the hitch was custom made by GM or bought from a seperate manufacturer though.
