Number of Labor Hours for a Towed vehicle install?

Also over estimating makes for a nice surprise for the customer and an even nicer “surprise” for the dealer.
Thanks all for your replies. Looks like I have some research to do looking for estimated labor time for each part.

When they quote a high number of hours, it's because they don't know what they're getting into and want to make sure they don't lose money on the deal.

The Blue Ox website posts the installation hours required for specific baseplates and light kits. My local shop accepted those hours.

I think my Ford 150 was about 2 1/2 hours for the baseplate and a hour for the light kit.

I believe every one of those manufacturers list the number of hours it takes to install / accomplish those actions. My mobile tech told me the Air Force one was listed as taking 2 hours to install so that’s what he charged even though it took him 7 hours. Said it wasn’t right to charge for his “ going to school “ time for the first one.. Don’t know about all together, but seems high too me.

Oh, you meant towed? A good mechanic should be able to install the brackets in an hour or so. But that depends on the vehicle. As for the rest? IMHO everything should be able to be done in one day.
