Maya,
You might send a PM to Mr. Yat since he was a provider of the hitch as an after market unit. I believe he had them made and would have the specs.

Good luck.

 

Thank you, I will try that...

 

Does'nt the hitch have a data plate

Does'nt the hitch have a data plate showing the towable weight and the tongue weight limits?
Pm me and I can email you a picture of mine.

Sure, the hitch has a plate with all towing data on it....
but I'm in Germany :jester

In Germany you need for everything a piece of paper...
you give a white paper to the clerk from the Technical Control Board.
He writes the text from the white paper (because when the information is still on a white paper, it's not allowed yet... no, no!) onto a blue paper!
And you pay 50 Euro for the blue paper... now it's allowed!

It drives you crazy... this bureau"crazy" madness we have over here. :glol :willy:

Seeing that we have decided to tow my dads corvette with our old beamer...
it's allowed to tow 2000 kg... it's the easier way!

Thank you all for your informations :seeya

 

The maximum towing capacity of the SSR is 2500 lbs with a max tongue weight of 250 lbs. Note the towing capacity was limited by engine cooling not the hitch.

Here are some discussions about the hitch:

There are plenty more threads in our forum.


ps. Freezer was an SSR engineer.

 

The Oris hitch is used throughout Europe by BMW & others, so a white paper should not be too hard to find.

 

Hallo Bianca!

Sorry, daß ich den Thread erst jetzt sehe....
Ich habe die originale Anhängerkupplung von den ollen Ösi-TÜVlern eingetragen bekommen.
Allerdings nur mit den 2500 lbs = 1134 kg Anhängelast.:cry
Wenn dir eine Kopie der österreichischen Einzelgenehmigung hilft sende ich dir diese gerne!
Wie auch immer ich ziehe problemlos sowohl meinen Autotransportanhänger, sowie den 2-Pferdehänger.....

Sorry: I wrote that in Austria (about 200 miles from MayatheBee) I had the allowance to use the hitch in my papers, but with only 2500 lbs.
However I tow my car- and horsetrailer with no problems.

 

WOW THAT SOME HORSETRAILER IN THE PICTURE.:glol:glol HOW MANY HORSE'S:lol

 

Hmmm, the SSR has to tow with the Vortech-Supercharger about 500 horses and with the NOS-shot a littlebit more.... :smash

 

One of the reasons the bow tie vehicles have always impressed me is the over-kill on the engineering side of so much of what they manufacture.

The SSR may be one of the best tow vehicles chevy has ever made. Everyday boat towing with my Avalanche was rendered painfully inadequit after two cross country boat towing trips with our SSR. The trailer, a single axel rig with gross weight of about one ton. The only limitaions I was concerned with was how secure the boat was to the trailer. We have a stock 2005 6 speed manual with the optional trailer hitch. The forged draw bar with the cnc machined coupling is a thing of beauty.

Edited to add; Sorry maya, I know this was no help to your request other than possibly providing some more proof of what this truck can tow. I can honestly tell anyone that this truck is a better tow vehicle for this application than my Z71 Avalanche. Not more practicle, just a more secure tow vehicle.
