[Shotimes] Class 2 Hitch?

[Donald Mallinson]

U-haul sells good reciever style hitches for any SHO.  I 
have one on my 96.

If pulling with your ATX, get a tranny cooler if you don't 
already have an aux cooler.  I really don't recommend 
pulling 3500 pounds with any SHO, that is a LOT of weight, 
and you could wind up frying the tranny in an ATX or clutch 
in an MTX, but I guess for just 200 miles, it might not be 
bad.  If there are ANY bad climbs in there, think twice 
about it.

By the time you buy and have installed a hitch, and get 
other things done, you could probably pay for it to be towed 
by a tow truck!  And you won't risk ruining your other SHO's 
or a wreck if the thing gets out of hand.  Flat towing is 
dangerous, and if you put it on a trailer, you need good 
trailer brakes.  Using a tow dolly can also be dangerous if 
not done right.
