U haul hitch for the Z?
SEE POST 23 !!!!!
Does anyone have a pic of what this thing looks like?
I'm wondering if its any better/easier to install or nicer looking than the etrailers.com one.
u haul.com says its the p/n 249483 for $119 bucks.

I got a hitch made by Curt Manaufacturing. The bumper cover needs a chunk taken out to fit it. It's about $137 but I like the design which is compact and a Reese type slip-in receiver.

It was rather difficult to get the Z on safely without scratching the front bumper. I picked up cheap insurance from Home Depot to prevent the car from falling off.
If I recall, U-Haul trailor cost about $50.

Good gas mileage too...full trip from PNW to Topeka at the speed limit (65-75 MPH, depending upon state) towing the trailer over 4-5 mountain ranges plus two drivers competing two days plus back to PNW (over the same 4-5 mountain ranges) = over 22MPG. On the flatter sections of the trip, I was seeing over 26 MPG at 70 MPH.
Z + tire trailer (with tires securely locked down) FTW!
(And as much as I like my fully-invisible hitch -- vertical receiver -- I think that either hitch will work fine)
