What did your hitch cost? saga of a hitch rack...

[pumpkinpony]

I got mine from U-Haul. Ordered and installed for $225, and that did involve drilling holes in the frame. ugh. Apparently they ordered the wrong hitch, but instead of sending it back they decided to make it fit. I'm still not real happy about that.

Thanks for all the replies! Now I feel my turning down their offer was completely legitimate. The funny part was they offered to let me make payments ON A HITCH INSTALL. Haha. I totally would install it if I had a driveway to do so in. However, we live in the city and I park on the street. We have an alley to park on but it is gravel.

I honestly just didn't have time to far around with it. And I Was just expecting to drop it off an pick it up a couple of hours later. Guess I was wrong.

Are we talking bomber hitches for towing anything, or bolting on a little reciever for a 1-1/8 hitch bike rack?

It has been some years, but it was around $250 to have a 2" hitch put on the frame of our SUV. We haul a 1-ton flat bed trailer a lot, so do it yourself wasn't really an option as we needed wiring for lights, etc.

DH has a Ford Escort... he bought his hitch on the internet for $159 and installed it himself. He said it was an hour's worth of work for someone who knows what they're doing.

Irulan,

It's just for a bike rack (no hauling). I don't need wiring and it is a 1 and 1/4'' hitch.

Had U-Haul install a hitch and wiring on my Subie. I needed the full-meal-deal as I was planning to tow a trailer across the continent. It was about $300, and I sat in the waiting room for about 45 min.

They had the hitch assembly in stock, all I had to do was call and make the appointment.

(the Subaru dealer would have charged a great deal more)
