I have a 96 Caddy DeVille V8 with the Northstar engine. I have a trailer and some ATVs I want to haul. Can you install a hitch on the car, and would it be able to haul the cargo without messing up the car in the future? The total weight is about 1800 pounds. Anyone who knows about hitches and hauling, I would love your input.
 
You would have to carry it and have a hitch installed. The car would have ample power to pull the load, but it might not be a bad idea to call the Cadillac dealer and ask them what the towing capacity is on that car. It might damage the tranny.

Sure you can. The weight is on the trailer and only a part of it is transferred to the cars hitch. You will need a hitch installed that fastens to the frame and not the bumper. Most muffler/exhaust shops can install a hitch.
