Trailer hitch ?

[circmand]

I live in Illinois so I would like not to drill the frame because it would be place for salt to get in and live
in hoping do to the light load that there is one that will just clamp to the frame
nor do I want to cut the cladding
is the Reese the only one you don't have to drill
. I think I may be missing something because whenever I look at the directions for the Hitches. It seems they all say to drill

The VX was not designed for towing. It can but was not designed for it. The more points of attachment you have and the wider the attachment points the stronger the hitch. So since the VX has only 2 predrilled holes in the fram and no predrilled holes in the bumper you are going to have to drill or only use 2 holes and bolts to attach the hitch and lose capability. As for rust I would suggest treating the holes after drilling then treating the whole are after attaching.

+1 - Sounds like the bar style hitch is for you, but you shouldn't let a fear of rust push you to sacrifice the strength of the mount point. As circ said, just treat the drill holes with an anti-corrosion coating and you'll be fine.

Or install the hitch of your choice ... then move to the desert.

Or move to the desert, then get the hitch of your choice!

But if he moved to the desert, then it would be too friggin hot to ride his bike & he wouldn't need a hitch.

BTW KAT,

I noticed that the hitch from Welder Guy was drilled for the smaller pin. If you plan to use the larger pin, you'll have to have that hole drilled out which would be much easier before it is installed.
