Install hitch for towing January 18, 2005, 09:38:58 pm Yahoo Message Number: 49588I elected not to install a receiver-style hitch when my '01 midbath was built, and now I want to tow a dinghy.Can I safely tow a dinghy with the bolted-on-plate style hitch that came from the factory? Or would knowledgable people advise me to add a "proper" hitch? Where should I go to get one installed (I'm 400 miles from the factory)? I haven't chosen a toad yet, but I will seek something light-weight.Thx John

You should be able to buy the receiver directly from LD. It used 4 1/2" bolts to attach it to the bumper. Your bumper may already have the holes drilled
