VX hood insert???

[Triathlete]

Radio is relatively easy to remove. About 6-8 screws (all easily seen) and remove the dash trim. Be carefull of the short wire right of the steering wheel. Just rotate the panel up and out of the way.
I'd check out Tones tow hitch. I think it looks WAY beter and factory. Requires a little cutting and welding but IMO is worth it. Quite a few tow with their VX on this site. I think you'll be fine with a 600lbs load.

Yep - don't go to UHaul until you give Tone (find his link a shout about that hitch. He's got one that fits the VX. Find him: http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...=newlink&id=15

Good luck!

Yes - Tone's hitch is the way to go.
.
It looks as good - or better - than a factory unit would look.
.
The cladding does require a little bit of cutting - but I don't believe any welding is involved .... (I should know this - but I have not found he time to install mine ..... ) ......
.
My hood insert also has a few small flaws ......a small crack or two ...... and it has a few very small 'bubbles' ..... (tiny bubbles - where is Lawrence Welk when you need him) ........ btw: it was not painted
.
A $ 250-350 estimate to repair the hood insert appears to be excessive. If the insert is painted, be careful if you do attempt to strip the finish - some paint strippers may 'dig' into (harm) the insert.

You will have no problems pulling a motorcycle.

Years ago, I pulled two motorcycles with a Honda Prelude - and also pulled a two place snowmobile trailer with one snowmobile. Yes - with a Honda Prelude - a small 4 cylinder unitized body car. I did get some funny looks when pulling the snowmobile trailer - TG I only needed to do this a few times.
