Im looking for anyone thats installed a tow hitch on their s13. Im not worried about the motor and trans handling it as i have a v8 swap. My concern is the trailer hitch itself and how well it is mounted. Im looking to tow my 2 dirt bikes.

How did the hitch mount?
What have you towed with it?
Did you feel staisifed with the quality of the tow hitch?

Ive got a tow hitch on mine.. Only practical use would be for hauling extra spare tires to auto x events and such which is all its ever been used for. I wouldnt put more than a couple hundred pounds on mine. I didnt install mine the previous owner did. But i bet Uhaul would sell you a decent one because Ive seen tow hitches everywhere that were installed by them.

I had a tow hitch when i bought my car...I ripped it off and through it away the first day.
And now i regret it haha. It mounted via to large "wings" coming off the hitch connecting to i can't remember what. Power should be your last concern when towing though. Unless you are 4x4 or have 900kg spring rates your going to drag the ass off your car with 2 bikes on a trailer. And unless you have some sort of brake swap you also won't be doing that haha.
