hitch dealer

[Gordon111]

Hello @ all<br />does anyone of you have a good adress for a reliable AND cheap dealer that installs a hitch in the area of Passaic, Montclair, Clifton, Paterson (New Jersey). I have heard that Uhaul does the sale and installation but i also heard some negative comments about the firm in general (e.g. not keeping appointments). I don't know if they do a good job. I tried to contact some local uhaul-stations but it was almost impossible to reach somebody. And if that miracle happened they were neither very helpful or motivated nor friendly. What about the brand of the hitch ? I heard about Putnam, Eaz-lift, Draw-Tite or Reese. Or is it a big deal to install it without any help (how long would that take for a 1994 Dodge Ram Van 1500?) <br /><br />Thanks for your invaluable help.<br />Gordon

I went Pep Boys (I'm sure any auto parts store would work) and gave them the make and model of my truck. I purchased the hitch and went home and installed it. It was not too bad. It came with readible instructions, and I finished in about 2 hours. I'm sure you could do it.<br /><br />Jason

I bought mine at NAPA and also installed it myself. Installation took about 2 1/2 hours, I had a few problems with rusted bolts. In any event, if you don't need the hitch right away, e-bay has a dealer with reasonable prices. The installation is pretty straight forward and requires only a basic knowledge of tools.

I agree with Crab Bait. Hidden Hitch has great deals . I just ordered a hitch for my Silverado . It has more accessories than I can name here. It was $170 with free shipping.

Gordan111, reguardless of where and what brand you buy, just make sure it is for your vehicle. That way the bolt pattern will match your truck.<br />And stick with a well used brand as Reese, Hidden Hitch and Draw Tite is a good brand also.<br />Just my .02 worth.
