Installing hitch on truck

Hello All. I just bought a 2003 Supercrew 4x4 and I need a class III or IV hitch. Is it worth the money to have a place like U-haul install it or is it DIY?

It's DIY if you know which end of a wrench to use and how to read instructions. A friend of mine who has very little mechanical experience installed his own Class 3 on his Cherokee in about 45 minutes.

Just wanted to be sure there were no holes to drill.

its all simple i got a 15,000 hitch off a wrecked 89 f250 and put it on my f150 myself. i just hope you dont end up having the same issues i am. before the hitch there was alot for me to tow and pull but ever since i put it on i dont have anything to tow and thats ticking me off because i want to put the hitch and my truck to the test.

simple bolt on. just uh, hang on to it so ya dont drop it they dont play nice on the way down.

f250/f350 drop hitch's are the correct width for 74 f100 frames too, just need to drill holes :P
