Da'Lan trailer hitches -Reply

[Gary Webster <GARY@synaxis.com>]

CAUTION on the installation of the hitch.  On some cars it is
necessary to grind off the shipping hook on the right rear of the car.  If
a stray spark should find its way to the battery vent tube - boom there
goes your battery.  Cleanup is a bitch...

I spoke with Jim Holmes at Da'Lan Hitch [(508) 425-9585] this morning
and he told me they DO make a hitch to fit late-model 5000s: It's rated
at 2500lbs,
200lb tongue weight, and bolts-on with only minor modifications to the
tow hook and rear exhaust hanger.  Oh, yeah ... it's a receiver-type
and takes a
1-1/4" receiver tube, which is exactly what I was looking for. 

That's the good news; now for the bad: It sells for $210.97 plus
shipping, which isn't cheap, but I decided to give it a try anyway and
ordered one.
I'll report back once it's arrived and I've got it installed.
