Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Just sold my truck, and need a method to move my little trailer/mower. Yours sounds great! Is it still available? Retirement is great, but have to make cutbacks.
Thanks, Bob

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Bob,
Just spoke to the machine shop that did the hitch work and they will do another batch if there is interest. I need to know if there are any other crossfire owners who want a hitch for their cars. The price is the same $325 plus shipping.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

I'll order one if you can get it made. Does it require a welder to install? If not I will install it myself.
Thanks again,
Bob

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

No welding required.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Is it still possible to purchase a hitch form the machine shop that made yours??

Thanks,
Jim

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

I'd really like to purchase the hitch hardware. Is it still available??

Thanks!

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

I can ask about another batch but would need 5 orders for the shop to put the time into this.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Thanks, I appreciate the help.

Regards,

Jim

Hello Blacksrt-6
Im trying to get some information for a customer on your hitch. If you are still selling them and a contact for this customer so they can order the hitch for their car.
Thanks

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

you do realize you are replying to a 6 yr old post from someone who hasn't posted here since 2007??? reading backwards will save you a lot of time and reduce your aggravation level when you don't get a reply.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Yea Carville sold that SRT6 with the trailer hitch like 6 or 7 years ago.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

I was reaching out to the only information i could find on the internet regarding the trailer hitch. Do you have any information on where i can find a like hitch? Im doing my research for a customer and trying to find them information.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

There are acouple different ways that have been done.
Depends on if they want to leave the exhaust in the center of split and moved out.

Best I have seen is leaving the exhaust in the center, and a plate mounted to the trunk pan on both sides of the exhaust where the diffusers go, and a bar bent to pin in both square tubing and a piece of square tube in the center, with the bar bent upward some, so the hitch will be above the exhaust tips.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

And I commend you for trying to reach out for your customer.
More than most shops would do.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Thanks for getting back to me Speedy
would you know anywhere that has a bolt up kit for these cars i like the side mount and staying away from remounting the exhaust.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Nobody has a kit, there where some that pieced together and modified parts from hitches from a w220 (example, I can't remember which) but it seemed to me easier and cheaper to just get some square tubing and flat plate.
What is planning on being towed ?
Us has a very low tow rating, but if you look online Europe has a tow rating for a crossfire over 3000 lbs.
When you bolt in the hitches to the lower pan in the hatch, you could add in some lateral stiffener

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

He is looking for something to tow less then 500 pounds and he was wanting it welded on the vehicle but the car is to nice to weld direct just want a bolt up for a simple tow.

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

There are a whole host of reasons that you won't find a kit anywhere, two are:

Very few cars were built, 77,000 in all - not much of a market there.
The car was not designed for trailer towing - even less of a market there.

Your only option is to build one yourself. Hard to make a living designing and building ONE of anything.
Again, not much of a market...........................

Re: Trailer Hitch
 

Very true Pizza Guy
just doing my due diligence before we commit to build one without approved tow measurable. Thanks for everyone being so helpful as this is not our expertise and i appreciate all the information.
