Anyone with hitch experience on 300 diesels? I want to put a hitch on my 79 300sd to pull a trailer with dirt bikes. The bumper looks like it is shock absorbing type so welding a hitch could potentially yield hilarious/tragic consequences if the weight of the trailer pulls the bumper off the car. Does anyone know if you can weld a hitch to the bumper or not? There does not appear to be any practical place to weld to the frame.
Can towing potentially damage the turbo or transmission? Any other things I need to consider before I proceed?
Enthusiastic diesel newbie,
