towing package?

my L dont have a hitch on it, im just wondering how much i can tow off the bumper
and how much is to install a hitch

hopefuly before next summer im gettin a decent amount of cash and always wanted to get a jet ski, will a jet ski be too heavy for a bumper or i will need a hitch installed?

i have a hitch off a chevy conversion van, will it bolt up to our trucks ?

yea 99 wit 10k on it bought in feb

why would someone take the hitch off?

the owner before removed the side exhaust and had dual pipes out the back,

which was very gay, quickly switched it back to stock

i got the truck for a good *** deal so it didn't bother me, only extra 100 bucks to fix the exhaust

but how much for a hitch or maybe someone will nice enough and give me one

They take it off for looks, weight reduction or any other reason.

DON'T tow your jet ski off the bumper hitch. While weight is not a problem, if you turn sharp enough the tongue will often hit the bumper around the hitch and take the paint with it. Since the ski trailer sits lower in the rear it tends to rub....at least that was the case on both my bronco and my exploder with the Jet ski on the bumper hitch....Just a friendly warning.

Any jiffy hitch or other such store can sell you a class III hitch setup.

No Idea.

I would check www.nloc.net - Check their Gen2 Parts section....you'll find one sooner or later.
