Guess I've led a sheltered life cause this is the first time I've seen a trailer hitch on a Corvette. Trucks are for towing.

I'd struggle to tow ANYthing with a Vette but I've seen (on this forum only) MANY folks with trailer pulling Vettes... 98% have been very tasteful... Meaning only one looked like a hack job!!

This one must be a great eye catcher!! Looks

I dunno - maybe it's just me....but having a Corvette pull a trailer is like asking Thoroughbred race horse to pull a hay wagon. I believe that Chevrolet states in the owners manual that the Corvette was neither designed or intended to tow a trailer.

Have fun with your toys....

What about those of us who track these things... we've gotta pull our race tires and tools somehow.



To the original poster.... sweet car and sweeter bike. These cars tow just fine... just keep the toung weight under 200 lbs.
