2002 factory hitch replacement
Hate to bring this up again, but before I go crazy with what options I
actually have, can someone tell me if the factory 1 1/4" hitch can be removed and replaced with a 2" hitch? It looks to be integrated into the frame. I was trying to stay away from that Valley convert-a-hitch. Haven't seen any pix of it installed and I don't want to use it if it hangs too low. Thanks Ken '02 XLS |

I asked if they could remove the existing class 2 (1 & 1/4" square) hitch and they said, "no, since its part of the frame." What they did was install the new hitch under the existing one and its not too low. Its perfect height for trailers. |

Yeah, I assume I'll have to go the same route. Sucks that I don't even pull
anything and I have to go through all this for my bike carrier. Thanks, Ken |

Thought I'd end this one as the search is over. U-Haul ordered/installed a
nice 2" class 3 hitch, $175 out the door. It coveres up the 1 1/4" hitch, don't care as I won't use it. Nice looking hitch also, it's the round tube, not the huge square frame that hangs down. |
