Receiver Hitch - Need Recommendations on Brand?

[cambone]

My 02 SR5 came without the tow package and I need to pull my 17ft Skiff (not heavy, Class III is more than enough which looks like it comes standard)

Anyone put on an aftermarket receiver hitch that they really like?

I hear Reese makes good products but see Wal Mart carries them now, so that makes me a little less confident....

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!!

Where are you? I have a factory Toyota receiver I'd sell you. I'm in Loveland CO.

i put a Curt receiver on this year, i have no idea if they are a decent brand, i needed something to pull my 13' whaler, and the price was tolerable. My t4r had the tow package, but was removed before i bought it.

Thinking ahead, the one draw back to this receiver is the angled cross beams, it doesn't sit flush with rear bumper, which i don't have a problem with, and it looks ok, but it leaves little room for the spare. Going to a larger tire may be interesting, but that may be the case with the stock receiver as well, im not sure.
