Hello to all, sorry for the new thread I just didn't want to hijack the hitch/reciever topic.

I need a hitch on my truck. All I am towing around is a wave runner one season out of the year, so I don't need anything big at all. What is a reputable hitch distributor and what class should I get? Is the bolt on an easy project with a few extra hands?

U-haul has hitches for everything..

Class 3 will be fine...

Thanks a lot.

I am assuming that it is just bolt on, correct? A guy I know said to take it to U-Haul because you had to weld? I don't think that's correct..

It'll almost certainly be a bolt-on.
However, U Haul can be a pretty expensive place to by a trailer hitch.
Which brings up my question.
Do you want a trailer hitch, or a receiver?
I've seen more than a few factory receivers on eBay going for around $85.00.
What I haven't seen is the wiring harness being sold anywhere used, which I find surprising since it's so easy to remove...

If you get a class III receiver, you can put one of those way kewl covers on there that look like a little boat propeller and spin as you are driving down the road.

Yeah I am assuming that the receiver is the actual bracket that mounts to the (gas tank bolts?) under the car. So I will need this, a hitch, and a ball. After researching a bit I think I'm going to go with the Class 3. You think ebay will be the cheapest?

It is bolt on....

eBay will probably be the least expensive route, if you don't have a bone yard nearby. Don't forget the "For Sale" forum here too.
