[DR3W]

I want a good hitch for my expy. Didn't come with one stock. Where should i get one & what class..

Meijer. no foolin.

I would recommend a tri-ball. but for most applications a 2'' ball. for "smaller" type trailers 1 3/4'', that is why I recommend a tri-ball, it's a little more money, but it saves you from a headache EVERYTIME.

Meijer also offers drop tongue hitches if your truck is lifted.

Dont remember what the one is one mine a local shop installed it... but I have had a hitch installed by U-Haul that worked well and also the ones they sell at walmart are not that bad... I believe they are a class 3 which would work in your case... a class 4 if your gonna tow a big trailer such as 28ft + camper...

get a class 3 hitch. check craigslist. i see some on here every once in a while. but if not check your junk yard and take one off an expo there.

Okay thanks guys, yeah. haha i was thinking junk yard too maybe

Are stock expy ones a class 3?

 

[DR3W]

None in local shop, idk. Prolly craigs list or something. Ima look for a class 3 and only a class 4 for a good deal

 

[panda24619]

yeah they all came with class 3 hitches. and a class 4 hitch has the ability to put the weight on the front axles too. spreading the weight. since your not planning on pulling a toy box full of toys just a basic class 3 will do. and the class 3 will still pull a toy box. my dad it with mine years ago. but we had no trailer brakes. bad idea. our brakes were red when we pulled into my aunts drive way.

Some of you guys scare me. Good tires cheap, good hitch cheap, good brakes cheap, you do know if its cheap it means it cost nothing to build which means cheap supplies.

Now buying something good used for cheap is different. But seriouslly dont cheap out on something thats gonna be pulling a boat. 90% of the crap walmart sells is manufactured in China (figure that one out on your own)

 

[jacks3am]

go to a shop trust me

 

[DR3W]

Lol thanks, might just buy new... Im still gunna look around for good ones.

Once i get some money!!
