Trailer Hitch Installation
Posted on 8/2/22 at 12:17 pm

With oil prices up, I’ve decided it is time for the mandatory accessory every OT Baller must have but . . .
No trailer hitch.
Who can put one on? Any shops you recommend?

Terrible time to make this decision. There's been a big hitch hike in prices lately.

Installation shop would depend on your location.
Whereabouts are you?
If your vehicle is something standard/“regular”, the local U-Haul can do it.

If you have to ask, you’re not ready for a trailer hitch

Most vehicles not that bad to do it yourself and save $150-300.
Certainly call on friend with a lift to make life easier.
Found the time estimates on etrailer to be pretty accurate.
Don’t let Uhaul touch vehicle.

People actually buy vehicles without a hitch already on it?
Lesbian?

Have your wife remove the chrome off of the hitch before installing. She's quite good.

I recommend the trailer hitch shop.

Contact Mike Gerald's in Baton Rouge. They do excellent work and have been in business for 40+ years. They can take care of any hitch install, trailers, custom trailers, parts, repairs.....everything.

Pretty easy 2 man job if you can get under the vehicle.
That said, don’t bother putting one on a Rav4 because that thing could barely haul a bike rack.

Buy hitch off of Amazon made for your vehicle. Watch YouTube video.
Really easy. Usually just 4-6 bolts.

I installed one myself for the purpose of a bike rack, so no electrical running to it. It was easy enough to do myself. Only thing besides bolting it on was having to run a tap through the threads to clear them out from crud that had accumulated.

If you can’t install your own hitch you sure can’t back that trailer up.

Don't do it...it might look funny.

unless your to fat to fit under the rear of your vehicle its 4 bolts on wires you pull through the frame. Easy job for 2 people to do.

Check out the Curt Mtg website for trailer hitches, I installed one myself on a station wagon years ago. You can read all the instructions online specific to your vehicle before you buy, to help decide if it's something you want to tackle yourself or pay someone to do.

Do it yourself. It’s easy and a good excuse to buy a torque wrench, Nancy.

I installed one on one SUV years ago. No problems.
I bought a used SUV with a UHaul one already on it. No problems
