Can I put a trailor hitch on my Elantra. I want to tow a car dolly (empty)

Your owners manual says to use a dolly, you put your two front wheels on the dolly, dolly is connected to bumper hitch of another vehicle. Should not be dinghy towed, towed with all four wheels on the ground. I'm not saying you can't tow it with a chain? However you try to tow it, is your responsibility. Safety is your responsibility.

You don't when its on a dolly, that means one end or the other is already lifted off the ground.

It would work best on a tow dolly. I imagine that has an automatic transmission. Its a front wheel drive so you want the drive tires off the ground if you want the least amount of grief. *** Make sure your dolly swivels or you will be sorry.

most cars can be towed short distances(around 25-30 miles without damage in an emergency..but if the car is towed across country and it is all wheel drive, you need to put the entire car on a flatbed trailer..u-haul rents them..and they require a frame hitch to pull it..usually a stout truck or you can also rent one of their trucks to pull the trailer..

Dont think you need to disconnect the airbag just for a towing hitch .

The very best information I have ever gotten for tow bar wiring and even trailor hitch parts and installations have been from Budget truck Rental Locations.
Seems that is a major part of their business, installing tow hitches, bars, wiring, to conform to DOT rules and regs.
Hope this helps.
Happy Motoring!!

You may have a tow hitch but no wire harness? You gotta buy a trailor wire harness kit and may need a professional to hook it up because there are a lot of wires to deal with. Normally the hookup it mounted near the hitch it self, but my guess is you don't have one.

Um...no...in order to tow you need rated tow-cable or shock absorbing chains or a tow hitch. you would also need hazard lights that also show which way the towed vehicle is turning (ppl cant see the towing car's turn signals) usually there are magetics ones that hook up to the towing cars trailer light system.
Safe towing by LAW is the issue here...could you tow it with a dolly...yes...but is it against the law..YES and the LAW protects you from hurting yourself,others, and property.
I hope this answers your question. and please be safe. (dont do it)

I checked the Reese site, and there is one available #77167 Insta-Hitch 1 which is a class 1 rating, drawbar #3594. Keep in mind that your Elantra is limited to towing 750 lbs WITHOUT trailer brakes, and up to 1500 lbs WITH trailer brakes. The installation of the hitch claims to be 'no drilling' but the exhaust system must be lowered for installation (then returned to position), and some 'trimming' of the cars fascia must be done. Take into consideration the terrain you intend to drive through. If there will be a lot of hills, you will struggle to accelerate, and braking w/out trailer brakes on long hills will overheat and reduce your stopping ability. Remember to figure in weight of passengers, luggage, and anything you put in or on the trailer, car roof rack etc. Good luck, and safe travel to you. Curt

If it is automatic then would suggest no doing this. When towing with rear wheels trailing the driveshaft is still turning the tailshaft of transmission,< rear wheel drive > and without motor running the transmission doesn't circulate fluid to cool it off. if it is the only way to move it for you without a trailor then it's best to remove driveshaft and use a car dolly to tow. If it is standard then driveshaft is not does'nt have to be removed. Either way a dolly is what you need to tow it, < towbar won't work > and old school chain or strap can damage fron bumper shell.
