Solle · #1 06-10-2012, 12:40 PM

I'm looking for a place to buy a hitch to tow my 14 ft aluminum boat with a 9.9hp motor and trailer. Preferably in the city, its for a 2002 Ford escape awd v6. Anyone have any ideas? And know if I can get away with a class 1 hitch, or should go for at least a class 3? I'm not looking for the most expensive hitch around, just something that'll do the job. Thanks in advance.

If you are looking with installation :Abc Muffler & Hitch Shop
4910 84 Ave Nw, Edmonton.
Hitch with wiring about 300$

you certainly do not need a anything special. you are towing at best 500 to 600 lbs.

I would try can tire or there must be a "hitch shop" in edm. Just google it up.

Try the hitch house on 170st. They are great over there

I've been to park muffler before for exhaust and they were awesome, maybe ill check there. I would try installing one myself but it seems like fishing the bolts throufgt the frame would be a challenge,(despite my awesome fishing abilities). Crappy tire has one for 220 without installation, and I think its a Reese hitch. Has anyone here attempted installing a hitch themselves?

Most hitches are simply bolt on. The hardest part is the wiring to your trailer lights. I went to the local wreckers and pulled the hide a hitches off a few vehicles for about $25 each. If I remember correctly most are 4-6 bolts on the frame. If you get the hitch I can probably install it for you for the low price of a case of beer.
