kpick Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hi All, Just getting my truck back on the road after it was sitting for years. I need to get a receiver hitch to tow a small motorcycle trailer. I've looked around and have not had much luck finding a 2 inch hitch. I do want to keep the stock bumper if possible. Any leads? Thanks, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motion Offroad Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Draw-Tite makes one that is a class III and works with the factory rear bumper. Part number 75021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpick Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for the tip. It's listed at $250! Seems high. Any other options or do i need to pony up? Thanks again K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comanche09 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 U-haul carries the same hitch (at least the same part no. and looks identical) for just over $200 shipped. Thats the best I've found... Anyone find a Class 3 for cheaper? No luck on Ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnj92131 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 You said it is a small motorcycle trailer - why not use a simple ball on the bumper for now, then look for a good deal on a legit 2 inch receiver? Should be able to find one in a salvage yard, given some time. Or even here on the ComancheClub site. I have been looking for a good deal on a front mount hitch so I can carry my Trail 90 on the front of the Comanche while I tow a 4500 lbs trailer on the back with my two inch receiver. You might also look at having a custom receiver built locally. Many years ago I was able to get a 2 inch receiver hitch built for my 85 Mustang for less than I could buy one from J.C. Whitney.

Pete M Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 You said it is a small motorcycle trailer - why not use a simple ball on the bumper for now? Not sure where he's from, but I've yet to own an MJ up here in Michigan that had a bumper I would trust the for anything. Rust will eat them from the inside out (and they are just sheetmetal after all). :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
