Towing with an Aveo

[hammsaveo]

It will get the job done for me....

Well got the wiring harness and installed it.All I needed to do was unplug and plug in the harness into original wiring. I got interesting results. I have no tail lights,I have hazard lights. If I try my blinkers it will run the opposite side as well very faintly. I will say that I put a screw in for the ground wire to be secured. May need to scrape some more paint for better contact. I don't know what to think of this as it is all a plug in kit....should work. The package for the kit said pontiac g3 on it but it should work. I am left with an expensive "T" harness that may still need to be spliced in. Any ideas?

I found the ground wire on the tailer was cut when i touch them together it works perfect. go figure huh? This kit was so simple to install and was worth 38 bucks to not splice ANYTHING! nice!Thanks for the link. I would recommend this kit for sure. Ready to see how my stock 1.6 will tow my 5x10 with very light loads. Keep you posted.

Yes, they can tow, though they aren't tow rated.

Well, they better should... *g* here in Germany the Aveo is rated for towing: Trailer without/with brakes: 880lb/2.200lb (2.425lb for the 1.4L-engine; no difference between the sedan and the 2dr/4dr-hatch).

is this for real? so our 1.6L can tow even more?

[MetroMPG]

No, it's not for real. :P

Well, the photo is real, but according to the comment on Flickr, all he did was move the trailer. He didn't go anywhere with it (or at least not very far).

I wanted to park the trailer with the door toward the house , so this car had a hitch, and was small enough to get in the back yard and get back out.
