I googled hitches when needing one for a Chevy Equinox and found many options, Don't recall who I bought from but the chevy's frame was punched from the factory and the new class III hitch bolted on as advertised. Amazing!

If you need one for a 2000 explorer I happen to have one in excellent condition freshly powdercoated with all attaching hardware that I'll make you a deal on.

Reese and valley make decent stuff, uhaul has a line and can install.

If you have U-Haul install it, MAKE SURE THEY INSTALLED ALL THE BOLTS & if getting lights MAKE SURE THEY HOOKED UP THE WIRING.
I have had to fix several U-Haul installs.

I do installs for a living, we may have on at work. I can check on Tuesday, if you want.

Like others recommended try E-Trailer. Reese, Curt, Draw-Tite. . . . They are all the same basically.

I've used etrailer before with good results. I'd imagine all the brands are about the same.

My 95 1/2 ton Chevy did not have a hitch when I bought it. I went to the local self service junk yard and pulled one off a truck that had the factory tow package for $35.00. Brought it home, hit it with a wire wheel in my angle grinder and sprayed it with a can of rustolium. I ordered a new wire harness and picked up new class 10.9 bolts and lock nuts at a local supplier.

E-Trailer. Hooked up mine a month ago. Took an hour (at the most), including hooking up the wiring harness.

Check rated tongue and pulling weight ratings for whatever they offer for your vehicle. Pick whatever is rated highest. Sometimes it's Reese, sometimes Draw-Tite, etc... They're all pretty much the same though.

Years ago, I wourked at Valparaiso Rental and Sales for a summer and installing these was one of my tasks. These are the ones we installed most. I preferred Reese, but they were basically the same. All work well. On a full-frame vehicle like a Silverado, installation is pretty easy. It was the uni-body cars that had some interesting engineering solutions that used precision tools like a large ball-peen hammer or a pry bar.

Another vote for etrailer.com. I ordered a light kit for my Highlander, the process was easy and the video instructions on etrailer's site made it easy.

Thanks for the responses !
I ordered everything that I needed (hopefully) from e-trailer and will be installing it myself.

Just saw this post. I would have given you one. I had it on a '94 Chevy custom van (needs bolts). I bet it'll fit. Come get it anyway & maybe send your back.

As all jave said Before, I've used e trailer a few times and it's always been great. Love the simple trailer brake packages they they offer as well.

etrailer.com is the easiest and best priced choice out there.

Go overkill because... well .....you're a guy and that's what we do but also you may want to tow bigger in the future. Class 3 will give you the best options. They've got some quality names to work with and all the kits in stock that people can forget about. Lighting, brakes, adapters, linkage, etc...









EDIT- I see you already ordered from them.
