I'm in the market for a hitch. I have to tow a samuri this weekend. Is there anything special I should be on the lookout for or that I should purchase? Anyone have any recommendations?

 

I have a Reese Hitch and It tows everything great. I would look into Reese and see if it is in your budget. Mine has done very good work for me. Goodluck

 

How much did it run ya?

 

I looked out for an OEM on Ebay, found one for $50 for a used one. The OEM square tube design looks better than a tube on aftermarket, to me at least.

You can probably rent a hitch from Uhaul if it's needed for the weekend, then go on a quest for the long-term solution after that.

 

There was just a thread about where to get them.
The tube one seems very popular.

Either of these are the cheapest so far:

mine is a Reese Class 3-5, 5000lb towing, part number R44048 and it cost me around $130. it took me 20 minutes to put it on and it works awesome. If the hitch is going to be temporary, rent one from uhaul. Good Luck Data
