Question Trailer hitch

Just wanted to know about a trailer hitch on my 2017 Convertible? I do have a new 2022 Camaro Convertible order with the 1100 number but seeing how not much is really being built, with covid and chips going on. I thought I'd put on a small motorcycle trailer like they pull with their bike. As anybody with a vert knows no room for your things. So if you have a hitch on how's it handle.

The real question is how will you handle all the people telling you that you can't do that since the Camaro does not have a tow rating. But assuming you can handle that okay...

I have the Draw-Tite hitch on an SS 1LE to pull a sub 300 pound tire trailer with up to about 400 pounds of cargo. Can barely ever tell it's back there. Pretty happy with the setup.

Looked into this before and ended up buying a 2nd car instead

Just cannot stand that the hitch sticks out this much even when not in use

It's quite spendy, but Leroy Engineering offers a hidden hitch solution:

Holy crap, that's expensive.

I have a hitch on my 2017 Camaro. I use it mainly for a hitch mounted bike rack but I have towed a U-haul trailer with it. It did just fine.

I purchased the hitch and trailer lights hookup from e-trailer.com.

Another vote for the Draw-Tite hitch, and for the same purpose. It works quite well.
