Tow hitch for a GT?
 
Anybody know if they make a tow hitch for the GT? I have an 05 and would just like to do some light towing.

Thanks!

I am sure the car is heavy and powerful enough to tow with but I doubt you will find ready made hitches for the GT. The idea of using one for that is out of the ordinary.

Have you checked with the U-Haul boys? :)

Yeah to be honest with you iv been through the accessory catalog a thousand times never seen anything close. I also can not think off the top of my head where you could even attach it on the under side. But if you have the determination im sure there is at least one place out there that will make one.

Now now, you Texans and Tennessee gents need to play nice. Us Californians want to put our mother in law in a mini Airstream trailer behind our Bentleys.hilarious

Well you are more considerate than us. We'd put her on the open tractor trailer.;)

Back on thread, I am sure I could find a man to make one of these if you presented the car and showed him where to attach the hitch to the car. I had such a man custom make me a trailer just to haul two canoes. It's simple custom welding. Find you a local metal shop and tell them what you want.

Not sure its quite that simple as the car has a self levelling suspension.

If there isn't one on the market you just have to get a little creative... ;)

Love it!!:D
I did a similar setup to tow my track setup on a E36 M3 LTW.

Well then if you load the rear it should self level up right?

If they can trailer with motorcycles then a car is a no brainer. I agree get creative and go out of the box.

You're all kidding, right? Can't anyone afford a separate tow vehicle? You can pick up a 3 yr-old LandCruiser for next to nothing these days :)

For maximum FAIL, nothing can beat a plumber in our country a few years back who stuck a magnetic sign on his CGT and used it as a work vehicle. Got him great publicity, but I wonder whether he really got any business. His customers would always be wondering about the costing.

Oh I understand - you're waiting for the Bentley SUV :D

Now that we know each other a little better hope you don't mind the question , what are you wanting to pull?

As Ken pointed out a real tow vehicle might do the job better and cheaper?

When it comes time to tow, carry out the trash, drive in bad weather, carry numbers of people, travel gravel or dirt roads, haul dead animals(hunting:eek:) or go off road I jus ttake the truck.;)
