Hi there, I've spent the last few hours reading the numerous excellent threads about trailer hitches for the Gen 1 (and Gen 2, but mine's a 2013). I really appreciate everyone's contributions: so much useful information! This post has a question, but is also to help consolidate the info for...

Hi, Just wanted to share some info on pulling a trailer with a Volt. I searched for info before making my trip and found very little, so maybe this will help others who wonder about the Volt and pulling trailers. I drove from El Paso, Texas to Houston Texas last weekend - 15 long hours mostly...

As some of you may recall I installed a Torklift Eco Stealth Hitch (1.25"). Well I found a nice trailer on Craigslist locally (5'x8') and I figured I would update you all with some pics as well as EV and MPG figures. On to the pics! As you can see the trip today was 91.3 miles with...
