If I load the trailer right, tongue weight should be at a safe weight. I
will be hauling a 302 long block as one of the items coming back with
me. Put that near the tail of the trailer, should be pretty good. But
yeah, a hitch would be nice. I may end up doing that when I get down
there. Not going to rush out right now and do it, but if I see it's
putting the hurt on the bumper, I will buy one and install it before
heading back up on Monday.
Good call
Mike
