Trailer Hitch
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
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.

Thanks again,

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
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
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...........................
