Trailor Hitch
Anyone have and ideas? I need the part that bolts to the frame. Also I would like it to just bolt to the frame and not require drilling or welding.

Curt makes a full range of hitches for these trucks. I'd recommend going at least a step heavier than you ever plan to tow.

Got my curt from rockauto.com. the worst part of changing out the old one was taking down the spare.

I have the bits and would still think about paying $30 for someone else to deal with it.
