I would strongly advise against it, unless you are just moving some stuff across town. For the cost of a proper hitch and wiring you can rent a U haul truck several times over. I’m in a similar situation. I used to own a V8 Chevy Caprice which could haul anything. It also had a very strong roof rack. My current car, a Toyota, can only carry 100 lbs on the roof rack and has limited towing ability. Over the last 3 years, however, I have had to pay only $80 for having stuff delivered that the Chevy could have carried on the roof or in a trailer. In other words, I saved a bundle on gas and only paid $80 penalty. I also have several friends with trucks who tow campers. For the price of a case of beer they’ll pick up bulky or heavy stuff for me. Towing a trailer might also void the warranty on your Fit. Check the owner’s manual. The Fit, with the seats down is cavernous. Just what are you planning to take to college anyway?? --- _[View the full topic](https://community.cartalk.com/t/honda-fit-to-tow-a-uhaul/37132)._
