What do I need to know about purchasing a hitch?

The first things you need to decide is how much you are willing to spend and whether you want to install it yourself or hire someone to do it. You can spend $700 for a hitch that would do the job or go all the way up to $2,500 for a really fancy one. Lots of them in between. You need to add installation cost to it if you are not going to do it yourself.
