So I have been wanting to acquire a hitch for my 2020 Trax Premier to tow a tiny 4x6 enclosed trailer. I know the vehicle’s tow weight is roughly 1,260 pounds or such. I know Chevy advises not to tow anything, but I have seen a lot of folks pulling things. The main things I observed were with the 2024 Trax and not towing anything because it has three cylinders. But the 2020 has four cylinders. The trailer would only be hitched once a week, with a 2-4 hour drive duration. What is your thought?

People buy these CUVs and think they’re buying a truck because it’s got AWD and sits a little higher up off the road… in reality what you have there is an econobox.

It’s a suspension thing too. It’s probably doable in a pinch, but far from safe.

Towing with an unsuitable vehicle is a bad idea. The engine is probably the least of my concerns; the transmission will not enjoy hauling, and the suspension and brakes were not meant for it either.

What motor specs? Motor model?
It would help if you had tried to persuade me that it would be fine 
Going to the dealership next week to purchase an Equinox.
