    Hello everybody,
    I hope that's the right place for the question.
    I'm looking for information on trailer loads or trailer hitches for Bucik Skylark 1971. So that I can mount a trailer hitch in Germany, I need to specify whether there was a trailer hitch in 1971 as an accessory and how high the trailer load was.
    Maybe someone knows where I can read something, maybe in a brochure or catalog.
    Thank you in advance
    Oliver

    Is it a Buick factory trailer hitch or is it aftermarket?

    I have a hitch that would fit 70 - 72 . But shipping would be a killer .

    981677 = 1971 Buick part number for an A body

    You will need to consult some factory literature for the load rating. Maybe another member can help you with that information.

    IIRC, Buick published a towing guide or some such literature specifically for the '71's.

    WOW thank you guys!
    I was some days off and these informations will help a lot!
    It is not a GM / Buick trailer hitch, It is not possible to find parts for Buicks over here in Germany.
    A friend had a trailer hitch from a Pick up and I modified it so that it fits on my Buick.
