    ISO Tow Hitch

    Anyone have Hitch for sale or do we still have any contacts then can make one? I am buying a jetski an would rather have the VX tow it than have to buy another truck. What is the heaviest anyone has towed with the Vx it will only be for a 5-10 mile trip to the Docks. But may also consider a smaller boat.

    I towed

    a 2000 +/- sports car from Arizona to PA with no problems except extra oil burning. I have the Curt hitch that mounts to the frame and pretty easy to insta I bought for under $200 brand new.

    Here ya go...

    Curt Hitch ( with f/glass skid plate fitted )
    Curt hitch sit below back lower cladding...and bolts to frame.
    ..

    ...

    Lower cladding needs to be removed for fitting.

    It also makes a GREAT rear end protector....
    ...been bumped twice with no damage

    And if you go off road...it protects the gas tank plate etc as well.

    But....I will wire mine via the rear tail light harness on Drivers side...
    ...and keep plug & wires for trailer in wheel jack compartment.
    ( Kudos to Tom for that good idea IIRC)
    Then just run them out through bottom seal of back door.. when required.

    FYI....Thats not my VX...just a clearer pic than I have of my hitch.

    I believe U-Haul fits the Curt and will do the wiring...
    ....not sure how much though.

    Cheers

    They can wire up without cutting. Only problem be careful walking around at first. Real shin busters
