towing????

i want to buy a dirtbike but my 95 with tha 3.8litre is that strong eonough to carry the bike on a tiny trailer? probably 300-400pounds for hte bike and extra 150 for gas n junk for it... probably traveling like 50 miles with it both wayz what ya guyz thinks?

that's straight redneck, right there...haha

ive saw a 2000 3.8l hauling a trailer with 2 dirtbikes on it before.....so im sure its possible

Yeah sounds possible, just put the sucker on first and dont get on a highway.

well I have to get on a highway to get to where I want to go, so wut if its redneck dirtbikez are fun :-P why do you say dont get on highway??

now thats gagsta as hell lmao...i seen a camaro towing one of those u haul trailers that u get to move stuff, so i guess it can tow....is it stock? im woundering how mucg trq u got, youll need it

How would you put a hitch on it? "camaro with a hitch", Doesnt really get more hilljack than that.

You could tow a dirt bike without much of a problem, but I sure as hell wouldn't put a hitch on my car...

I saw a 4th gen ss towing a dirtbike last summer, so its possible, but the big question remains.... WHY? Thats what trucks are for.

like i said, redneck....lol

cause i have my camaro now and its the 3.8lter in the 95 i dont know how much toqrue it has asides a hitch isn't that much i can just weld it on or something and i dont like trucks

Dude it's possible, 3.8s pack 200 HP and torque is a little bit more, so its definately possible.. the only reason I said dont take it on the highway is because you'll be in first gear.. not being able to go that fast. :lol:


Dont listen to all these losers though, nothing redneck about hauling with a Camaro, atleast I dont think so.. it just means you dont want a truck and its obvious Camaro's have enough torque to rival trucks so its all good.

:iagree:

i agree...its kinda odd to see but i'd do it too if i needed to haul my dirt bike...being in college and broke all the time i couldnt afford a truck, in the owners manual there is a section about towing anyways....go for it! the one i saw was on I64 and it kept up pretty well with everyone

I'd do it. Hell even with my Monte, show no shame, I hate the old lady look that car has with it.

i jus looked and da silverado for tha same here has 255 tqor and it can tow liek 5k pnds soooo i think my camaro that says 1000lbs for tow capacity will be good fo tha 300lb bike and 300lb trailer the hit is like 150$ and my buddy could probably weld that thang on

ENGLISH!

Make sure you follow the directions for the installation of the hitch. If it says bolt it on then bolt it on as it probably flexes a little when loaded. If the design requires flex and you weld it on instead of bolting it on then there is a possiblity of the welds cracking and the hitch falling off. Plus, if its bolted on and you decide you don't like it or need it anymore you can take it off.

yep :iamwithst

thats why god made saws duh

i would still bolt it. :icon16:

My dad's Chevy Lumina APV mini van has a 3.1 (I believe) and we have hauled around a lot heavier shit than a dirt bike. Including a 500 pound combat robotics arena on a trailer with a flat tire. Your fine. Don't even need to leave it in first just put it in drive.

it'll be fine, there's ppl that way more than that. just think if you loaded your car with 4 200lb ppl, i think it'd be able to handle it.

I agree with Geno it will work no prob.

I was lookin at dis but im not sure what kinda hitch i should get cause i'll need something like 350lbs (trailer) + 300lbs (bike so thats like 750 lbs just on the tounge weight does the tonge weight only have a factor on the hitch and not what kinda car its connected 2?

edit

dis too

i think that would work better cause it has higher tonge weight like 1,000 lbs is more den enough safe then sorry
