Trailer hitch help - '02 XLS

Knagy389us 14 February 2005 19:01:40
 Folks,
This was discussed several months back here but I can't find the post, so
if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.

I have the smaller, 1 1/4" trailer hitch on my XLS. I want to use by
Thule bike carrier which fits into the 2" but I don't want to go with the
adapter since the tongue weight drastically drops when using this. A
company makes a hitch that utilizes the smaller hitch with an add-on part
that upgrades to a 2" reciever.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

TIA,
Ken

 A Google Groups search turns it up quite quickly. I think you are
referring to the Valley Hitch # 82430. I have to admit I wasn't
impressed, but it may be the right solution in some cases.

 Thanks, Bill. This is what I meant. It seems this is the only alternative
for me since it looks like the factory 1 1/4" hitch is part of the frame
and can't be replaced? I only want to be able to use my bike rack, which
is well under the 500lb. tongue weight spec of the Valley hitch. Open to
suggestions though.

 John,

Do you have any pixs of the installed hitch? It doesn't hang down too
low, does it?
