It's a standard Class I hitch - with 1-1/4" receiver. - sheureka

How high is it off the ground?

Bah! U-Haul is an American firm and they won't ship outside the USA.
All the ones available to the UK cost 4 times the amount.

I'm sure that could be arranged by a forum member.

If anyone could find out how much one of these would be to send, I would be very interested. Although the instructions are OK I'm sure we all could benefit from some real pictures.

If any companies want to supply the UK market, I'm sure you'd sell quite a few. Our equivalent is $880.

I do not want to buy one just to find out, but if someone could find out how much it would be to send (actual, not an estimate) I will send it.

These hitches are manufactured by Curt Manufacturing. Could be they'd be interested in the export business.

Here's the link to get started:

Hi Rick,

Which Uhaul did you get yours at? Was it here in Escondido?

BTW - why did you have to lay down to take the picture?

Lady G
still waiting

LG,

Ordered online & installed it myself. I'm sure the Escondidi dealer could help you out. You get a $10 off labor coupon for UHaul dealer installation when you order the unit online. smartcenter San Diego would be wise to begin offering this themselves as a dealer installed accessory.

USPS priority mail package, 30 lbs, to the UK works out to $112.50 or around 55 GBP if that helps any.

Sounds more than reasonable to me.

I contacted Curt, they don't sell to the public, Curt sent me links to 2 companies that might send to the UK. 1 said no, the other said $500 just for shipping
UHAUL only send to US states also.

So I am looking for someone who can come up with a set price so I can paypal them the money for it to be purchased, packaged and sent.

You will just have to watch out for the girth! Postal regs only allow up to 108".

I sure hope the hitch isn't 8 feet 8 inches or it may be hard to fit on the smart, let alone ship!

 

[letsgoskatepool]

If someone can send me the exact dimensions and weight, I will find out next tuesday from my shipper

 

[donnyonee]

maybe you could ship it greyhound?

 

[smartist]

The box measures 41" x 20" x 10" and weighs (according to Fedex) 23 lbs.

This item is not high-tech. Simple welded fabrication & powder coated. Must be 100s of places in the UK that could copy it. Just get one sample and go from there.

Evil, if the above quote for shipping is correct, I can send one to you for about $280 American. Would have to double-check rates, but this should be close.

Maybe you could let me know your postal code?

also has a friend that needs a 451 tow hitch , might try the route of buying one when i am over the pond and then getting it sent to my friends in the usa and then sending it home on a slow boat back to the uk?
