UHaul Hitch Installed

[smartist]

Just installed UHaul hitch ordered directly from uhaul.com. Very high quality, powder coated unit. Reciever exits below rear valance without cutting or mods. Doubt it will work with any aftermarket, center exit exhaust. Mounts directly to rear subframe. Not easy, but not too difficult either. Mounts using two existing bolts and requires drilling one hole and modifying the other to accept carriage bolts & spacer. I recommend most folks have UHaul dealer install it. Instructions easy to follow, but directions concerning hole enlargement understate size of hole needed to slip bolt & spacer through.

Perfect for bike rack.

How did you install the light connectors?

How much, do you have a link?

No lighting harness installed, since it will be used for a bike rack only. Usually these harnesses are pretty easy to install though.

Here's the link for cost, installation instructions, ordering info, etc.

Got mine about 6 days after ordering. You could also order through a UHaul dealer with hitch installation ability, too.

Extra benefit is it looks like it will protect any slightly longer aftermarket oil filters.

I am interested in selling my pickup truck if UHAUL thinks I can add a trailer for those large trips to Costco and for Camping gear. If they do, I guess I am running over to UHAUL and ordering one of these. It looks low enough to clear a center exhaust, but I think that I am gonna sell my Doug Thorley center pipes anyways and maybe get a Stealth exhaust instead.

Thanks for the picture smartist. I know my center exit exhaust will fit! THANKS AGAIN! Now I know it's OK to get when I get some extra $$$.
