I have a 1992 Ford Tempo. We're about to move across country about 1600 miles or so. It doesn't have any trailer-hitch gear on it. I think it would be able to tow probably 1000 lbs, and that's enough. We intend to tow (say) a 4x8 ft trailer nothing more.
I live in Tucson, AZ and so far the only place that seems to offer any trailer hitches is UHaul. They want $250 installed for one. A friend of mine seems to think we could get it cheaper than that, I don't know.
We have called Autozone & such places and all they ever say is "call Uhaul."
My question--where else would be a possible source? Also, I don't understand the basics, so what exactly would be needed and would it be bolted on or welded on? As for parts, I remeber hearing of something called a "receiver" but otherwise I am totally ignorant all the way around about all of it.
Tips?
