new hitch for my truck

[MaxPower]

I bought a hitch for my truck today, a class III Hidden Hitch.  I hope it arrives before next weekend, so I can get it installed and to use.  

I also bought a 4 post wiring harness so I can connect it to trailer lights.  The installation instructions look like it'll be a quick install.  I have a small utility trailer that needs lights, so tomorrow I'm going to the auto parts store to find a trailer light kit.  It'll be nice to be legal.

I'm excited because I don't buy accessories for my truck very often...  


I'll post pics when I get the thing and get it installed.

Cool stuff

Nice looking hitch!  Have you considered getting the 6 way round plug wiring?  You can then get the straight line 4 plug adapter, but if you ever need to tow a real trailer  (j/k   :P    ) with brakes, you can do it.  That way you're not disqualified from borrowing your buddy's 20 ft bass boat because your hitch doesn't have a brake controller.  As a guy who has spent way too much time dragging trailers around, I thought I'd throw out my 2 cents!

I forgot about this post!  I installed the hitch a few weeks ago and have gotten more than my money?s worth already.  In addition to normal trailer pulling I?ve used it pull out my tractor (a big Kubota that I sunk into the mud mowing a soft field).  My truck didn?t like yanking on the tractor much, but I was able to get it out with a few good tugs.

And yeah, I only have the 4 post light harness.  I don?t see myself buying a big enough trailer to warrant brakes/6 post while I own this truck.  But I guess it could conceivably pull a horse trailer?

Don?t hold your breath waiting for pictures.  It really is a ?hidden? hitch.  You don?t even know its there unless you kneel down and look under the bumper.  I like that.  ?Course because of that I can?t slap my big Toyota logo or a red LED taillight in the receiver when I?m not towing.  Oh well.
