Tigerpaw Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Looking for a brick & mortar around Dayton for a hitch.I want a complete "tow package" for my 2004 V6 Chevy Tracker ZR2. I imagine Class I will be fine for this little SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simplysix Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Not familiar with Dayton but I know most Uhaul locations do hitch sales and installs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerpaw Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 The uhaul website quote included their own coupon. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obesityrules Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 those things are really easy to bolt on, check ebay for some pricing. the wiring kits just plug into the factory connector. you could install the kit yourself in less time than it would take to drive to a uhual location.

redkow97 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Uhaul does "custom" hitches only. They won't install a kit hitch.But yeah, if you can find the kit on eBay, most don't require much drilling. And drilling a hole in your frame isn't as scary as it sounds. Now running the wiring... That, I would let Uhaul do. My local uhaul guy was pretty cool. We bought our SUV used, and it had a hitch already installed, but the lights wouldn't work. So I took it in, they did the tester thing, and he cut off the old plug on the spot. I had to come back two or three times to catch him when he wasn't busy, but the price was reasonable to begin with, and he felt so bad about making me come back (didn't know I lived like 3 miles away) that he knocked off $50. That was over 30%...Granted, because the connection to the battery was still good, he had considerably less work to do, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aforrest4 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 U-Haul has installed 5 out of the last 6 hitches on my cars. No complaints.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 I bought a hitch kit from Uhaul for Lyndse's old Outback a few years ago. I'm betting they refer to their kit as "custom."I don't believe they'll install a kit from any other manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motozachl Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Got mine shipped from uhaul for only $80 and installed myself in about 20 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
