I want to buy a hitch receiver. I was wondering what would be a good one to look at.. Are the reese hitches any good? Are they hard to install? Any other kinds I should look at? I don't imagine I will be towing any crazy heavy things.

 

etrailer.com

i would say get a square tube hidden hitch that way if you get a BL it will look some what normal

 

I've got a tubular 2" hidden hitch

 

Yeah i have the Tubular Curt Class 3 Hitch I think, Hides real good. Found it on ebay.

 

i have the square tube hidden hitch, i really like it alot

 

Were these easy to install?

 

Hidden Hitch definitely looks the best IMO.

Install depends on what your bolts look like underneath. It took Justin(RangerJustin) and myself a good hour or so just to get the damn bolts unscrewed due to the caked on mud and such underneath. More or less a basic bolt on other then that


Best picture I could find

 

i would have a reese right now but i couldnt get the damn thing off the truck at pick n pull .... anyways i also reccomend etrailer i got my last setup for my integra from them

 

Mine was real easy like 4 bolts i think mounted like nothing!

 

this not the best pic but u can see how it looks, i like it even though its not that hidden... saved my rear bumper a few times from getting smashed but everything.. rocks steps stuppid 18y/o girls that just got their license and their new shiny bmw325...(lol 2 bad i didnt had a cammera u shouldave seen the hole on here bumper and her face crying "my daddy's gona kill me waaaa...waaaa..." lol...)

 

I have this one.

it's a hitch. there aren't really any bad ones really....it's a friggin' hitch! lol.


I'd prefer a Class 3/4, obviously a 2" insert hitch. I'd prefer mounting mounts below AND on the side of the frame. BTW, i have a factory ford hitch that i purchased from a junkyard for $50.

 

If your truck is already low to the ground, I would avoid getting one like mine. Turns out to have NO clearance.
