Does anyone have experience towing a UHaul with their CL? I'm going to be moving across the country and will have a car full of people, so it would be nice if I could pull a small uhaul trailer with the stuff. They spec out about $180 in hardware to mount a hitch (Sportframe Model 24995) and the associated wiring to an '03 CL. Anyone used this particular kit, or have recommendations on an alternative that would work?

 

I haven't used a U-Haul hitch on a CL, but I did have one put on my 2001 Accord and it worked great for towing the 4x8 and 5x8 U-Haul trailers. I was able to tow a 5x10 tandem axle unit, but it just didn't "feel" as stable as the smaller trailers so I never did a long haul with either of the larger tandem axle trailers.

 

Good shit, Horseshoez!!

 

please keep this updated! i am looking into it as well. looks like hidden hitch doesn't make it for our cars anymore.

The fit guide for the uhaul hitch says it applies to 98-07 accord, 99-03 TL and 01-03 CL. so i'm assuming anything that fits those will fit our cars as well.

there's a no-drill version here that I am inclined to get as I do not have a power drill with me here (and it appears to be a clone of the 60913 hidden hitch)

 

These things are already time bombs with their automatic transmissions. I wouldn't want to do anything that would put any additional stress on it. I'd have money for a new transmission ready.
