Rays B4U Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 When I first got the SS I dinged my bumper with the tongue of my boat trailer a couple of times because I have to hitch it up by myself. I saw the EZ-HITCH while shopping with the wife and told her I sure would like one. Year before last I got it for x-mas and I can't believe how easy it is to hitch up the boat now. No more worrying about ramming the tongue into the bumper! Here is a pic of it: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonm Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Looks like it'd work well. I've never seen those. I have the one with the two flags, you simply line up the flag with the one on the hitch, and you're all set. I like it, because I can see it above my bed cover. Once, I'm hitched up, I just pull off the flags, and away I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyc_2006_SS Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I am amazed that I had not seen this before. This is an awesome invention!!! Got 1 question, does it affect the trailers turning radius? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is how it is installed: EZ-HITCH Install And if I remember correctly it only cost about $40. Which is way cheaper than a SS bumper cover!
