was thinking of getting this

If you bought a trailer hitch could you give opinions regardless of brand. Looking for info on install and how it differs among types of hitch and years of truck.

thanks

I have that same one. Real easy to install and works great. I have had it for a few years now with zero regrets. I think I got it for less $ on Ebay, but that was a few years ago. Good luck

cool........I cannot tell a difference between that one and the Class III hitch.

I wonder if it has thinner steel or something

Weight ratings.... I forget the specifics for the different classes but I would get the class iv. that will cover everything the truck is rated for

150 with free shipping seems to be pretty cheap already. What would I pay for a salvage?
