Where to buy a trailer hitch?

[Mtneer001]

I have been thinking about getting a trailer hitch on my 06 4 Runner.

Do y'all have some good sites that I could look at to compare hitches?

I don't want to tow anything more than some jet skis or riding lawn mower. Maybe put on a bike rack.

What do y'all suggest?

Also, should I have the dealership do it or try to Do it myself?

Thanks,

It's not hard to do, a rather easy diy job. If you do have somebody do it DON'T USE U-HAUL, very bad reputation.

If you can find the Hidden Hitch 70411, get it. The 70411 is rated for 7000lbs. I have the Hidden Hitch 70779, which is good for 5000lbs. I only got the hitch for accessories like a bike rack.

Ok, thanks. I was thinking of saving a few dollars and going there.

So if I try to do it myself, where would be a good place to buy the hidden hitch?

Sorry, I'm a total noob at buying stuff for 4 Runners. I just recently found the floor liners (weather tech - they are awesome by the way).

Here is the site where I bought my weight distribution hitch for my '04 V6 Runner. It was the cheapest place I could find. There are a couple more places also......as a matter of fact; I'll give you two links for the hidden hitch. The install was easy as it only took about 1-1 1/2 hrs while taking my sweet ole time. I did it by myself w/o jacking up the truck at all. You will or should use a torque wrench on the bolts though. Here are the links: http://www.redtrailers.com/ShowItem.asp?id=70779

Here's another in the same price range: http://www.truckspring.com/VSearchResults2.aspx?cID=742

And finally the instructions for the install are here: http://www.autoaccessconnect.com/to42cl3trhic.html

Uneek beat me to it. I was also going to suggest the HH 70411. I have one but have heard they are increasingly hard to find...seems that they have been discontinued. If I can find the place I got mine, I'll post it. I found them on the net but they happened to be about 50 miles from me so I picked it up. As Uneek said, they have the highest capcity I have seen. I don't necessarily need it, but I wanted the strongest / best!
