Although I have yet to actually take ownership of my FZJ80 (it's still at the dealership having work done), I've already started making plans and ordered up a few goodies for it
One thing I know I'll need is a hitch....
Had a hard time locating an OEM locally, so I'm looking into aftermarket options....
First off, I don't plan on ever towing anything larger than our lightweight dual jetski trailer, which our old Toyo pickup with a bumperhitch yanked around just fine without issue...
Second, I plan on welding up a receiver mounted carrier for our kiddie sized GoKart using leftover hitch assembly (pointed backwards), so it will need to have a tongue weight rating of around 300-350 lbs.
Thirdly, I'd like to have more of a stealthy hitch if possible...
One that won't hang down too low past the bumper or have a knee bang'n receiver that sticks out too far
I know the OEM will be overkill for my needs, so given my low requirements, what are my options for a clean looking hitch?
Also, among the available Class 3 hitches from Valley, Draw-Tite, Hidden, Curt, etc., which has the most clearance?
