RT-S trailer hitch

[rdavison]

I am thinking of buying the matching trailer, but want to be able to remove the hitch when not towing. The dealer says it's not easily removable? Anyone know if there is an easy way to remove the hitch, or at least most of it?

welcome
One bolt and the whole thing slides off. Takes less than 5 min.

Step 1, the hitch comes off real easy
Step 2 find a new dealer. That one is clueless

welcome You may have spoke to a salesman who is not into wrenching, so he does'nt know. If you are handy it will go smooth. :ani29:

welcome. The hitch is easily removed. Pull a cotter pin, remove a nut, slide a bolt out and remove the body of the hitch.

That is basicaly what my dealer told me! I have not done it yet mainly because the mudflap on the tow hitch is a great signal for clearences to the ground getting close without hurting anything else.

Only one thing I remember in addition to the dealers above information and that is something about retorqueing the nut and replacing the cotter pin? Anybody know anything about that for sure? Bill
