I'm want a hitch for my 1985 300D turbo. I have a lil utility trailer for the bike and misc stuff.
Is there a reciever type available? Only one I've ever seen is the bumper type I. Shin buster I call them!
Thanks for your help!!
Hip

If you want a "reciever style" I think you need to find a friend with a welder. I have seen a couple on here that were made that looked good, bolts up to or behind the bumper to body bolts . . . I want to make one like the "Curt" in the 2nd thread . . .

300SD Trailer Hitch Receiver - Update

This is what I was looking for:
Tow Hitch for w123 300D Post #21

I have a receiver style hitch, it works quite well, I've pulled my utility trailer with as much as 1300lbs or so on it....no problem. (aside from sloower acceleration) It was made by DaLan, and I got it on ebay about 3.5 years ago. If you look in that first thread posted right above, I put a couple pictures of mine on there.
