Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2009 Chevy HHR and Recommendation for Carrying a Power Chair

Question:

hi i wanted to know what hitch would work with cargo lift #rhc1114 on my 09 chevy hhr my father jut got a hoverround pwr chair but there tec people say it to heavy for the hhr the chair is about 100 pounds thanks for the help

Expert Reply:

The problem is that all of the trailer hitches available for the 2009 Chevy HHR are Class I hitches with a tongue weight capacity of 200 pounds. The weight of the chair plus a carrier will exceed the tongue weight capacity of any of the available trailer hitches.

However, there is a good solution. Magneta trailers makes a special trailer just for power chairs/scooters. A trailer will be the only way you will be able to carry the chair with the HHR. But first you will need a trailer hitch. I recommend the Hidden Hitch, # 60815. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a video showing a typical installation.

The hitch comes with a ball mount, pin, and clip. For a ball you can use # 19256 (1-7/8 inch diameter) or # 19258 (2 inch diameter). And for trailer wiring, use T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, # 118407. I have included a link to the installation details and a link to a video showing a typical installation.
