I need a little advice. I want to tow a MX5 Miata on a trailer behind my Lance 950s. The truck is a Ram 2500 w/bags, sway bar and 19.5 wheels. I will need an 18" or21" extension to reach beyond the camper. Factory hitch is adequate without the extension. I am looking at adding a Super Hitch.That won't help much w/out their extension. $900!! Your thoughts?TIA Shiv

Some more info would be helpful... Do you have a class III or class IV hitch now. How much do the car and trailer weigh and what is the tongue weight? An extension of that length will typically halve your rated tongue weight .... so if you have a class III it's going to be about 300 lbs and for a class IV about 750. If you currently have the class IV you may well be OK.

$900 vs. your car, trailer, life. No brainer to me.

That seems to be a lot of strain on your hitch and truck frame in my mind

get the torklift superhitch and extension and forget about the car while hitched. next year you may want to tow something bigger and heavier..

Yup, Superhitch and no doubt, or something cobbled together and constant worry.Seems like a no-brainer to me.Another option might be a Reese Titan 2.5" receiver, though.
