I am going to get a new hitch and wanted to know a little about them. I can't really tow a yacht or anything because I have the V6 and no tow package. Just the SuperChip, FlowMaster 40, and AirAid. What are the good brands to go with and the crappy brands to look out for?

One more thing, I would seriously like to get a stainless steel hitch. Or at least have the part that's exposed to be SS. I've seen it once before so I know it exists. What am I look at $$$???

Websites with good prices??? Class III / IV??

Thanks for all your help guys!

 

Go buy a DrawTite Class III hitch and you will have what you need. No need for a Class IV because your truck cant pull that much weight. Don't forget to buy a locking pin...it will keep your ball mount from growing feet and walking away.

I saw some colored ones in one of the catalogs at home on the table... I think it was Cabela's but I'm not positive... they were just colored recievers. I also found a company called Bully that makes a stainless steel drawbar for around $40, and I bought a stainless steel ball from JC Whitney for $50, and a stainless nut and washer (a stainless ball came with a plated nut and washer?! Corrosion waiting to happen!) for $5 from Acme Nut and Bolt. It looks sweet! I knew I forgot to get pics of something!
