The Hitch you wanted

Here is a pic of a custom made hitch that I used when I lived in florida. i hauled a dual cab jetski like nothing, when i moved to NY, i had a 5 by 8 uhaul trailer. it did blow my shocks, but my car was a trooper. 18 hours with a fully loaded uhaul from FL to NY. and what lol

Mig welded and cut the original tow plates that are held by 2 screws under the chassis. hooked all lights, by splicing directly the the rear lights of the car. made a custom bar with a top loaded spacer that goes under the spare tire on the inside of the car. you can jump up and down on this hitch and it aint going nowhere lol.

you have to do what you have to do... not everybody can afford a sports car and a truck .... especially when that sports car is a money pit like the 7

To tow my motorcycle, I'd put one on my car in a heart beat.
