Trailer hitch ?

[circmand]

Many have what we call the "Tone" hitch. It is much lower profile, slightly recessed design. It requires cutting the rear cladding. Here's a thread that shows a few types.
I just bought the hitch that Tom4Bren mentions in post #69. Getting it installed soon.

Curt makes a hitch, don't think it requires any drilling. Circ you just put one on didn't you?

It has 6 bolts that attach the hitch to the fram. It is very high quality. 2 of the holes are pre drilled they hold the tow hooks 4 holes need to be drilled.

It is so simple I feel comfortable doing it.

Same hitch for me too. Pretty straight forward install, drill 4 holes (2 on each side) drag a bolt and plate through back opening of frame and tighten with nuts. All hardware supplied, only thing needed is a drill and bit the right size. I just carried a hitch cargo basket on mine with about 200lbs of luggage (4 women packing for a 1 night trip...) from central FL to SC and we had no issues at all.

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.
