Receiver and Hitch

Where is a good place to order a QUALITY receiver and hitch from? I want it too look stock, even if I have to order one from toyota. Do they just bolt up or is welding required? Thanks

99% of trailer hitches nowadays are bolt on..... very few if any require welding.... how stealthy do you wnat it? hidden hitch look good...

I would not worry about brand name too much, just make sure you get a custom hitch and NOT a univerrsal one. A custom hitch is made to fit your vehicle with no welding/drilling. I ordered one from U-haul,custom fit for my Rodeo. I took off the u-haul sticker and you couln't tell it from a stock one. I'm not telling you to order from u-haul, it was just the cheapest price for me.Make sure the reciever/hitch is rated for the lbs. you want to pull. Might as well get a class 3.. Rated for 5000lbs---the limit of your vehicle.

If you want to look for a good selection of them, check out www.summitracing.com (I know in their truck catalog they had a few pages of them).

UHual might be another good place to look, or any local shops that sell trailers. As someone else had said, you definitely want a custom hitch so that it bolts right on.

(I belive they even have colored ones to match your truck at summit - but that might look pretty stupid, I don't know)

I have the one from my 974runner. Are they the same? If so, I'm willing to part with it.
