Where is a good place to buy a class III hitch for a SUV. I also need to have it installed.?

Answer 1

A better truck cap and hitch if you have one locally, uhaul also does it but they're somewhat pricey and only the larger corporate stores have them. Most places that sell truck caps etc will sell hitches.

Answer 2

Will you be pulling a trailer? If you plan on pulling under 1,500 total lbs. you'll do fine with what you have. The total tongue weight of the trailer determines the following: If the trailer company recommends a load leveling device the following works well. You should have a class 3 hitch plus a designed coupler for load leveling bars. Commonly known as a Reese Hitch and a special coupler with Reese (spring) type bars.
This system is designed to adjust and transfer hitch weight to all four wheels of the pulling vehicle plus trailer wheels evenly instead of dead weight directly on the rear hitch. Without the load leveling device this is a dangerous situation because the pulling vehicle will be bouncing alomg the highway because the shocke or struts were not designed to dampen the uneven heavier weight. The front steering becomes light due to the decreased weight and rear springs may bottom out causing third member damage.

All but the largest (Tahoes, GMC's and large Ford's) do not have adequate frames and springs to pull heavy loads. They have no oil coolers, separate trans. coolers and large alternators to adequately keep all lights lit without killing the battery.

An unbalanced rear hitch behaves like two unevenly weighted kids on a teeter totter. The heavier child drops down and the lighter one stays up in the air. The infinitely adjustable Reese Hitch corrects the trailer weight to all wheels. The pulling vehicle and trailer. Good luck.
