Marcia1212ExplorerJun 28, 2014hitch questionI 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!
bikendanExplorerJun 28, 2014just 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.
