Hey folks,
Please go easy on me, I'm quite new to this. We're about to move up to an expedition el from an odyssey so that we can get a camper.. I have figured out enough to look up the VIN to ensure the one we buy has the HD Tow Package...
But I am really struggling with the WDH bit. Is this is factory option that I would see in the VIN-lookup factory install options? Looking at VIN information I can't find anything other than whether or not it has the HD Tow Package. Is this always an aftermarket installation?
I don't want to spend a bunch on a quality used expedition el and then have to turn around and spend another $800+ on a WDH if I end up needing one. (We have not yet selected our camper; we plan to rent a few and try them out before deciding. But we need a tow vehicle first...) So I'm trying to learn what I can about WDH's but am struggling to find a resource for newbies like myself...
Any guidance or pointing me into the right direction here would be vastly appreciated.
EDIT: Okay some more searching and I was led to eTrailers; I plugged in a 2012 (random year) expedition and it led me to this WDH.. (model EQ37100ET; I can't post a link) ... I was under the impression that this was a frame-installed thing. I didn't know it was just a special kind of hitch. But, it is still over $500! I guess that'll just depend on the camper we get... ?
Thanks in advance..
