title says it all, does anyone have one or know where you can get them? I heard uhaul but their website doesn't have any applications for my car. I looked at this "universal" one at walmart and it doesn't list my car but it sure looks like I could find a way to bolt it on.

you going to put a hitch.... on your 240sx? What are you going to tow? A shopping cart? :D

pepboys or uhaul will be able to get something for you, you just have to visit one of their locations.

pepboys: nope..i used to work there... if u like class 1 hitch <w/out the square receiver> then yea, order from pepboys...

i'd go w/ class 2 that uhaul prob can get one custom bolted on... was gonna tow my wittle nighthawk w/ it but, nahh...

jspec, i've seen a 240 that was towing a very small trailer w/ 4 rims/tires on that trailer... guess for autoX/drifting... can't recall rite now

My 93 Civic LX used to have (actually, most likely still has) a trailer hitch. Was on when I bought it, and when I sold it.. didn't bother trying to tow anything though. A 240 makes a bit more sense than a Civic :D

There used to be a S13 with a 1in reciver hitch on the back. I asked the girl how much she wanted for it and she told me to come get it off. Never called her about it. I was going to use the 240 to tow a small boat i had at the time

class 1 would probably fine, I'm looking at towing a 2000-2300 pound car (old coupe) just to get it home. class 1 is like 2000 so class II would prolly be better. I'd be willing to pay uhaul to do it but I'm afraid they will want like 200...:-(

Dude, my 92 Z24 had one one it. I didnt even realize it until after I signed the papers at the dealership. Looked at the salesman and was like, "There's a damn hitch on my car."

Don't know what in th eheck they could have towed with it. If I still had the car, I would rip it off and send it to you. Sorry.

At least the 240 has a truck engine. Should be good for towing.

I think I'm gonna borrow my friend's truck but.. if that falls through maybe I can use my mom's vitara. the 240 is a last resort option. some people have suggested to me that a car shouldn't tow another car.

defintatly not!!! If your were thinking of useing a car trailer, you have to remember those things weight something too. I doubt the 240 even has a tow rating.

You last resort should be uhaul, not your poor 240.

oh dam, i agree w/ .J-Spec Tuner...

find some1 w/ AAA+ which can get that car towed 100 miles fo' free... too bad you're too far away; i'd help u out.

Class 2 would be a better setup so u can use that square receiver to "hook up" some accessories, like a bike carrier, etc.
