hitch question
I am planning on purchasing a used tow vehicle. In your opinion, is an after-market hitch install just as good/safe as a factory installed hitch? Thanks much!

Yes, to your original question. An aftermarket receiver hitch is fine. I have had a factory hitch recalled for a problem ('99 Dodge). Don't remember why though. I've installed a bunch of them myself. If you do it yourself you need a 1/2" drive torque wrench to get the bolts tightened adequately. If you have it done, use a large trailer sales lot where they are more likely experienced in doing it correctly.
