Default Towing Hitch on 96 H23

I am moving from NY to FL at the end of the month, I want to tow a small UHaul trailer with a loaded weight of 1150 Lbs down with me. Has anyone seen a trailer hitch on a Lude before? Is it even possible to attach a hitch to this car? Any feed back would be much appreciated.

yes it is possible i have seen civic hatchs and eclipses with them. is it the best idea probably not, a car is not meant to pull and stop a trailor. but you can do it

that sounds like it would be fun for the first couple of hours... like a steering game or something, but just a hassle after that lol. think ur info is in your manual if u have it, or get ahold of one. i know for my brother's 05LXaccord loading 600pounds of cement into the trunk made a huge difference. + 3 passengers and some other items. acceleration was fine, but braking was compromised a noticable difference. i hope that gives u an idea, im not sure but i think the 05LX came with somewhere aroudn the h23's power. with a lot more weight stock for stock.

ya update 160bhp at about 3300 pounds
