So where does one put a trailer hitch with this center mounted exhaust?

I was wondering if Honda would make an exclusive Honda only trailer hitch for this new SI? Is it even possible to put a hitch on that kind of an exhaust setup? Sure it would look weird.

Maybe on the front of the car so you can tow it back to the dealership and trade it in for a ridgeline?



I kid, I kid ...
LOL That's hilarious

Will the 1.5liter engine make enough torque off idle to even have a tow rating? Your poor clutch if you have to slip it at higher rpms to get moving...

FWIW, here's what the owner's manual has to say about towing trailers:

It is for a bicycle rack. I am not towing a trailer with an SI. Thanks for the lookup though!

NP. I see... I was going by the word "trailer" in the OP.

I'd be extremely surprised if Honda didn't consider that Civic buyers might want to install bicycle racks, so you'll probably (hopefully) be fine. :)

If for just one bike, then just toss it in the back seat with front wheel off. Even my prelude can fit a full size mt bike. Unless your seat tube is too high.
