TweedleDee Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I need a receiver hitch ASAP to attach a 4 bike carrier for my July 6 vacation. I ordered one last week but it turned out to be a ball hitch. Links would be awesome. Thanks for any help. BTW, U-haul doesn't seem to carry a RECEIVER hitch for this model. Thanks for any help.

MilesFox Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 i work at u-hail i'll see if i can get a part number for you, there is a 1 1/4 receiver available for wagons. there is a model that goes between the bumper and body(requeires bumper removal) call my u-haul tomorrow and ask for tony (608-221-4277) after 1 pm central time. im off work unless you want to call me wednesday. ask for the part number, then have your local u-haul order it.(go there and make sure!) the part itself should be 119.95 and you couls EASILY install it yourself shipping is usually 3-5 days fedex ground, but if you pay for the part up front they should be able to overnite it to you(go to the store and ask to see the hitch pro) if you need the wiring kit ask for 13488 the price is 16.95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 if your 4 bike carrier is a 2" variety (all of the 4 bike racks are and mine is), don't get a 1 1/4" receiver. you'll end up needing an adapter and the adapters really suck because they only allow you to slide the bike rack to the first hole in shaft. this will make it stick out REALLY far....hitch, plus adapter and insert to first hole, leaving the rest hanging and bouncing. very dangerous and certainly not good for the bikes either, bottom out like crazy. i've done it and it was very unnerving and i damaged a bike... so i went and bought 2" receiver stock, you can buy it in lengths to make your own receiver. it was only like 9 bucks. some plate steel where needed and you're golden. if you still want a 1 1/4" hitch, i'll sell you the one that worked on my XT6...and the adapter too!
