Default Small trailer pulling with HCH?

Hi Everyone,

Thinking of getting a HCH to keep my HAH company in the garage at night.

Thing is, I have a nice s10 truck that is used to haul bags of mulch and this and that a few times a yr from a local store.

I also carry a couple of 10spd bikes to the bike trails some 10 miles away.

Did anyone install a small trailer hitch on the HCH for hauling things like bikes or pulling a tiny trailer? Where did you get the hitch?

The Civic I am considering has a 5 Spd so it may be able to haul something not too heavy.

Thanks for sharing

Tony

If you have an Accord hybrid, I would use that for the towing rather than the rather underpowered Civic. 265 horsepower vs. 110? No brainer there.

Very good point about the hah having way more hp. Problem is, the HAH is what my wife drives and it usually isnt home when projects are going on. I dont plan on pulling any stumps or huge rental trailers, just the occaisonal bike rack or small utility trailer that folds up when not in use.

thanks

Tony
