Easy to install though it does require drilling 4 holes... (good idea to avoid the fuel tank). On 11/22/05, Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] tow hitch
Yeah, looks about as solid as the ones I saw listed for my 83' 300D. It would be hard to hit the fuel tank on mine unless you were REALLY in the wrong place. Either way, I sure wouldn't trust something that bolts to the bumper and spare tire well. There's definitely not a lot of strength in either of those locations...

Yeah, I can imagine. What's the point then? Most any trailer is going to weigh a couple hundred pounds by itself... Levi (: On 11/22/05, Kaleb C.
