Whatever hitch you end up with, the rear valence is in the way.

From an earlier post I know there is a method of cutting an oval hole for the receiver and its adjoining braces. The shop that installed a Draw-tite on my 1988 244 made a bit of a mess of that, so it would behoove you to DIY or watch them work.

IMHO the Draw-Tite is the only way to go. I was able to make a hole in the pin which holds the ball mount bar in the receiver, so I can use a small padlock. I know that the trailer could still be stolen, but the padlock makes it more difficult.

Next step is the wiring. Post with what you use and how well it works, OK?

Good Luck,

Bob

PS: I am in Houston, TX and I have a surplus non-Draw-Tite hitch, no bolts.
