hey im having trouble trying to find the right hitch. what is the mounting size for our truck? can't i just run to autozone and get like a 2 inch hitch that screws on? cuz all my searches are showing much more complicated and expensive hitch procedures.

 

if you are talking about a universal hitch, yes you can get one, but you will most likely run into some issues. look on the bright side, these issues are things people who take some time and have the right tools can call accomplishments!

alright, enough mr. bright side for me today.

 

Just go to Uhaul. They can have the exact one for our trucks. You can buy it from the and install it yourself or get to install it. It will run you around 120 bucks plus wiring harness and plus labor if they do it.

 

cant i get a ball for 20 bucks haha

 

are you looking for just the ball for the class I? It looks like on mine it is the small shank one cant remember the size of hand.

 

yah i dont want that big class 3 receiver thing thats too much, i dont even relly tow i just want to be able to...with a screw on ball... i tried one today but it didnt fit in the hole and i had to return it...that was weird

 

Ya, there are 2 different size shanks and 2 defferent lengths of the shanks. I just cant remember the sizes. I think the dakota would use the smaller and longer shank.

 

I wouldn't hang to much on that bumper!

 

I dont really trust it eather. I looked at hitches tonite.it is a 3/4' shank.

 

I tow my boat with mine, 13' foot Boston Whaler style boat. Fully loaded with everything needed to fish including food, drink, tackle, gaff, net..etc. it's nearly 1000 lbs and I don't have a problem with it at all.
