If I recall correctly the tow weight limit for the HHR is 1500 pounds, with auto trans, no towing recommended for manual transmission. IMO these are just not safe tow cars, for anything. Try stopping a 1500 pound trailer on a 6% grade when something jumps out in front of your HHR!
That weight includes everything added over car and driver with a full tank of fuel.
You would have to add the weight of the hitch components as well.
If you add a 200lb. passenger that also counts against the 1000lb. gross figure.
If you carry additional items in your HHR that also counts.
Your net weight capacity could be as low as 700lbs. or less.
Can you cheat on that max. 1000lb. amount ??
Sure you can, but if you have a serious accident you will be held responsible for overloading your vehicle. Even your Insurance Co. could refuse to pay.
To me it is not worth the Risk.
