Trailer Hitch
I've got a hitch
D'alan - seems to work pretty well. I have put a few thousand miles on it with the trailer so far.
This is the old bike, the car will tow two bikes, but it slows it down quite a bit, and gas mileage sucks.
With two bikes the trailer weighs in at just under 1,500 lbs. It is too tongue heavy right now, I need to move the axle forward just a bit.
I pulled the same trailer over 80K with a maxima, my only concern is that this car seems to have more body flex with the trailer than the maxima did.

It looks like a Bumper Hitches is finally available for the G Sedan.
A Few Questions?
1. How many holes do you have to drill? Or does it use pre-existing holes that already exist on the car, looks like the holes under the wheel wheel might already be there.
2. Does the hitch interfere with the operation of the energy absorbing rear bumper? Does this rear bumper have a piston set up to absorb energy or does it just Styrofoam?
3. How tough is it to rig up the wiring for the lights?
Any-other advice/info (other than don't do it) would be appreciated.

In Alberta Canada I had a hitch put on my G35x. Took about 45 minutes. It was a T shaped hitch and bolted through two existing holes under the spare tire and had two holes drilled under the bumper. Works great! Cost $135 for hitch and $80 install. Trailer lights needed a $50 module which I installed myself after finding the wiring diagram on this forum. Mainly use it for carrying my bicycle when I go into the mountains. Super glad I did it.

Well here is my sad story. I bought my g35x back in March and one thing I did not research was the ability to attach a trailer hitch. I am in the process (now on hold...heh) of buying a wave runner. The reason it is on hold is the apparent lack of hitches that fit the G35. Does anyone know if there are some coming down the product pipeline with any real time frames. Or does anyone have any experience with custom attached hitches (if so any knowledge of companies around the Chicago area for installaton would be phenomenal). My fingers are crossed that this hitch issue is not going to stop my new water toy purchase!!!
Here is the wiring diagram for lights, check under Parking lights to see the wiring diagram for connecting an adaptor to get your 4 pin trailer lights working.
