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!

just remember, if the vehicle doesn't have the factory tow package, adding just a hitch receiver is NOT the same as the tow package.
you still have to add the wiring for a brake controller and a 7-pin connector, add a trans cooler and may need a change in the rear end ratio.
Very good advice here; if you don't have a hitch now, there is a high likelihood it does not have the tow package so you'll need the other stuff too. Some aftermarket hitches are better and stronger than OEM hitches.
