I would go with a v-8 if you are going to tow more than 3,500 lbs. A small trailer with two bikes is fine but none of the HUMMER line is really sweet at towing. Small load for a small truck is fine. Check specs at hummer.com on towing I belive it is 4200 lbs

The site says the limit is 4500 pounds but if you want to tow more you need antisway bars. Does not say how much more you can tow. I would also presume you want a trailer with its own brakes above 3500 pounds.

You will need a drop and the antisway for sure and again. I would not plan over 3500 lbs

The ball drop into the reciver hitch, then the bars from what i remember. it will attach to your trailer. I am not an expert but with out anti sway the damn thing will be all over the place.

The H3 comes with sway bar on the rear axle. But I think Usetosellhummer is talking about is an antisway atachment at the trailer hitch to help with the trailer swaying.
