Default Towing a Trailer

Hi guys
Since the roadster is limited in the trunk area is there any way to put on a light weight hitch on the car to tow a small motorcycle like trailer?
Thanks

Where theirs a will there is always a way. For example take a look at this:

I may consider the same option as well someday.

Try the search function here. There have been a couple threads about towing with the Crossfire (so far no proof of anyone doing so). Actually, it's more about the miniscule load capacity of the Crossfire than can a hitch/trailer be done. Of course it can be, but the car is NOT setup for towing and I'd suspect if you developed any drivetrain troubles and D/C found out you'd been towing, you'd run the risk of warranty being voided.

If the Crossfire couldn't pull a light trailer enough for some decent luggage then it's not much of a car.
Which I don't think is the case.

Just my opinion.

I thought it was clever how they fitted the Prowler with as prowler look-a-like trailer. If they can fit a Prowler...well

I totally agree!

The shape of the Crossfire would sure make for a nice looking and streamline trailer. Let's get one and cut off the nose to use for a trailer oK? HA
