Trailer hitch suggestions

[curiouswords]

About to buy a VX and want to have a trailer hitch installed. Suggestions?

[etlsport]

first place to look for a tow hitch (or most accessories actually) is Tone's website www.tonemonday.com

id also do a forum search for tow hitch.. i think there have been some issues with towing and the VX's short wheel base?

"Tone's hitch" is the only (good) option.
Strong, low profile (won't rob departure angle), and good looking.

Many here have towed large/long boats and trailers without issues. You just have to be aware that the trailer can toss you around if you are careless with it.

I'll second mbeach on this one. I've looked at other VXs with the hitch the goes under the cladding and it looks awful IMHO. I bought Tone's hitch (I get 10% for saying this : ) and it looks great and does the job. I use it for carrying our 10'X6' utility trailer. I also recommend a "fish eye" lens for the rear window so you can at least have an approximation of what is going on behind you. That can be purchased at any RV store.

I am using extention mirror from Walmart ($10) which is getting attached with bungycords to the drivers mirror while towing my boat - MUUUCH BETTER !

The good one is the frame mount, the other is a good hitch, but it cuts your clearance in the back. The frame mount looks factory and is very nice... doesn't cut any clearance.

Go with the Frame mount.
