    Expensive even for second hand but seem to hold their resale well.
    See how you go.

    Edit..........Added bonus. Drawbar folds up for convenient storage, clever.
    So have you upgraded any components? The big issue is insurances and the state authorities insurance. If you have an accident and the towball weight is over the vehicle specs, then you may lose coverage.

    Believe me, an insurance company tried to stooge me after I stacked a Fairmont that had extractors fitted. I Pointed out that I had notified them of the mod and they grudgingly paid up.
