I need to move a lot of stuff. I was wondering if it's possible to put a trailer hitch on my car. It's a 98 maxima (4th gen). Has anybody done this? How much can it pull?
and where do you get these?

 

Yes, you can get a class I, which is 2000 tow, 200 tounge I believe. Hidden Hitches is the preferred brand, no drilling required. I've got one, it works great.

 

thanks Drew. I want to pull a trailer that I want to put a couch in. I'm hoping that a u-haul like in your picture will do it. did you install a tranny cooler or anything? What speeds were you driving at? Did you keep it in 3rd gear for more power or anything? Any towing tips?

 

do I need to buy any accessories to hook up the u-haul trailer? I guess I can only use the smallest trailer. What did you do to hook up the wiring?

 

I've got a 5-speed, so I didn't need a tranny cooler, automatics will probably require one. I only used 3rd as needed, and was really only used for hill climbing, but I could climb the Los Angeles grapevine at full speed with a full trailer with no problems.

You will need the hitch and a wire harness. The trailer you see in the picture is a 5x8x4, which is the biggest Uhaul will let you pull with a Class I hitch.
