strange question (tow hitch)

[bigtow]

i need to get a tow hitch for my 93 formula (i know its a big heavy lump and wont help my et,s but ) can you guys recomend one thanks

[hotwhip9]

my buddy had a valley on his old one for his jet ski, a class 1 i think. Worked alright. Yes big and heavy but it did get the job done.

I went down to kragen (checker) and found a class 1 for $150, it took about a week to get it shipped (free). You really only need a class 1 because they can town up to like 1800lbs. but your tranny can only handle around 1500lbs. DONT go to Uhaul, theirs you will have to drill holes into your frame. The one from Checker was really nice cuz you use the existing holes.

Also... your going to need to run the wirring. You'll probably need like 10 feet. I ran mine through a small hole in my trunck on the passangers side... you'll find it under there when ur installing the hitch. Then i ran it from the hole across the back and over to the drivers side (under the mat) because all of the wirring is on the drivers side in the pannel. I believe:

yellow = left blinker
green = right blinker
black = brake
white = ground

Also at checker... they have these blue wire taps that connect the 2 wires without having to strip or expose ANY wires (HELPED SO MUCH, I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND). AND that should be about it. I would do all the installation yourself and save the $125.

PS. You will have to remove the exaust hangers (easy) so u can adjust the exaust as you install it. And youll probably need an extra set of hands!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

U-Haul has a pretty nice selection and they are pretty economical too. I had them put one on my 87 for towing my boat. Worked out fine.

I never understood F-body's with tow hitches, I mean, it's a sports car!

you beat me to this question, since I am going to get a jet ski, that comes with the trailer and it needs to get around some how...thanks

if ur gunna tow a jet ski be very very careful when launching..sometimes if u launch right after someone has pulled a big boat out the launch will be soaking wet..a friend of mine lost a tacoma because he was in a rush lol

yeah, ive seen it, especially in rear wheel drive vehicles with no traction, what them just slide right in.
