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.
