Does anyone make a hitch for our cars?
I'm getting sick of the grass in my trunk, the smell of gas in my car, having to take my mower apart and having to have another person help me hoist it into the trunk so I can mow the few yards I have to take care of. Not only is it the mower that's getting on my nerves, I've got a trunk mounted bike rack that is a pain in the butt to mount and is really hard to keep from messing up the paint, so a hitch would help in that respects too, as there are a number of hitch mounted bike racks. Any help would be appreciated. |

As far as I am aware, there are no "aftermarket" or "universal" fitting tow bars on the market that fit our celi's.
However, I do know that Toyota make a specific one. Check out your local Toyota dealer for more info. BTW: They're not cheap! |

You can try your local UHAUL. I got a small hitch for my car installed there several years ago, and I use it with my Yakima 2-bike rack. It was pretty cheap for the hitch... around $14

I have one!!! there are a few chioces for ya. Mine bolts on in about 10 minutes, and all you need is a socket wrench there is no drilling or cutting. It is also very discreet it does not look bad on the back of the car. I think it is made by drawtight. Cost me about $80. Check around online if I can find it Ill post a link. Search for trailer hitches in yahoo or something you will get alot of hits. I use mine for a hitch mounted bike rack works great.

This just kills me to hear about trailer hitches on the back of our cars and bike racks too. I guess it's your car and you use it how you want.

y? is a trailler hitch bad? I can have a little square on the back of my car, which required no modifacation to the car to install, or I can have a roof rack, or one of the ones that straps onto the trunk, both which scratch the paint. I dont use the celica for towing, I dont even own a trailler. I have a reciever hitch bike rack which will be the most subtle and cause the least damage to my car
