Probably easier and cheaper to buy one. I think UHaul sells em for around $150 IIRC.

Besides, when your trailer passes you on the road you will know the hitch is DOT approved and your insurance might cover it.

Talking

I it is to bad build them all the time

But where you live it would be cheaper to buy one or have one made local.

Having one made you will need to have your vehicle at the shop. would no doubt cost more than what you could by one for.

Then with a little grief bolt it on.
