Need a new hitch for my truck.

I have a Valley hitch I beleive class IV or V. I have a 2" ball on the hitch right now. It has become completely rusted and looks like crap. I wanted to replace it so does anyone have any suggestions of which hitch to go with? I hate seeing the hitch period so is there such thing as a "hidden trailer hitch"?

Can you say a can of black spray paint? You can replace the hitch but eventually it will look the same unless you keep touching it up.

Thumbs up

If you go the paint route, Try using POR15, i bet you'd have no more surface rust problem.

The stuff works great.

I installed the same hitch on my truck,great looking hitch it is cheap and a breeze to install.
I have touched up the place that the ball mount goes in a few times with a small can rustoleum and sponge brush just to keep it looking good.

Im going to get the hidden hitch and get the brush on bedliner stuff and put that on it before I install it. Then I wont have to deal with any rust problems in the future. Thanks guys!

Thanks

Thanks for the post here and the responses. I needed to get a hitch too and those are by far the cheapest anywhere. Plus they have everything I need, including 7pin and bracket.

I just dont know if I have the bump stop things or not. 04 SuperCrew with straight bedsides. Styleside I believe? So I need styleside, not stepside mounting.
