Trailer Hitch

[rickfen]

Does anyone know if there is a trailer hitch available for the 2015 V6 AWD yet. I have a small boat/trailer (whole thing weighs less than 1000lbs). I'm quite sure they don't have them in Canada, but usually the US has them way before we do (if we even get them)

thanks

Thanks for that one, but unfortunately it looks like its only for the coupe (according the installation PDF)

I have also been looking for a hitch. My take from reviewing the sites suggested is that these hitches are for pre-2015 models only. If you look at the installation instructions, they are from 2012 at the latest.

If I recall, it was about a year before anyone came out with a Gen 1 hitch, so I guess we wait a bit

Manual recommends not using this vehicle for towing. Not sure if it would void any warranty's or not but worth looking into first.

If they find out you towed with it I guess warranty could be an issue however a hitch can be used for a bike rack you know.

As I understand it, warranty would only be an issue if it could be directly related to pulling the trailer IE - burn out transmission, distort frame etc. With a proper hitch, the Genny would easily pull an under 1000lb load.

I had U-Haul hitch on my 2012. Since there wasn't a hitch available for the 15, I had them take it off my 12 and fit it to the 15. It needed to be "narrowed" slightly at the ends, which was accomplished by pounding he ends onto a concrete floor. It took some force since trying to bend it on an anvil was nearly impossible. It worked and the 15 has pulled several trailers successfully.

BTW, I also used the connectors from the 12. Total cost to transfer the 12 setup to the 15 was $85.00.

Could you possibly post a picture showing the installed hitch?

I just saw a 2015 Genesis towing one of those big teardrop trailers through Colorado Springs... Looked like she was squatting pretty hard...

You should keep the tongue weight to around 200 pounds. If it's too light, the trailes can wallow, if it;s too heavy it can pull the back down.
