    Trailer Hitch?

    I've for a while wanted to get a trailer hitch for the D to be able to expand the carrying capacity for trips. I seem to remember there being issues with the one that was initially available damaging the frames and causing clearance issues. I thought that there had been talk of a new design that solved those problems, but can't find anything more on it. Does anyone have that information? Thanks!

    One of the Irish owners has designed a tow-hitch - I'll dig up a photo.

    One available. Extremely heavy. I don't own it but I can put you in contact with the seller.

    The stainless one shown is the only one available. The other picture is the older steel one installed on a car, normally they are painted black. The steel one tended to block the oil drain so the SS design was changed a bit.

    Have you considered installing the luggage rack?
