Draw tite hitch?

I know absolutely ZERO about hitches, And how they work/mount.

Can anyone tell me if the trailer hitch from a Regular civic would bolt into our wagons? Here is a picture of the one I found for pretty cheap. Will this work? Apparently it’s a “Draw-tite trailer hitch off 1990 Honda civic” but I cant find the application on the “draw tite” website.

    It may not fit without modification, but BUY IT. I've seen one like it on a (sedan?) in the junkyard, but couldn't get it off because the car was sitting on it.
    it'd be a good starting point just for the brackets.

    +1

    I wish I could get my hands on something like that and upgrade from my tow bar. I am guessing thats a 1 1/4" receiver which is fine, still more capable then my setup. I would guess that the wagon would need to drop a bit more; but I do know that the brackets are almost a guarantee to fit since the rail bolt pattern for the tow points/sway bar drop brackets are the same. Same reason we can bolt up a EF bracket in place of my tow point.

    If its cheap I'd definitely buy that; would be simple to modify with a couple hours weld time.

    If it's like the one I've seen (and it looks to be), it's not a receiver hitch, Just a flat drawbar mounted to the cross tube. Still easily enough modified...

    All of the above is lost on me lol. Guess its time to start some reading.

    Basically in the future Id like to use my wagon to tOW a dolly. On that dolly would be my hatchback.

    I was hoping this would allow me to do that.

    Guy only wants 25 bucks for it, we will see.

    buy it. It's as close as you'll come to a real hitch for your wag. I will buy it from you if you don't dig it.

    you can still get a wagon specific hitch here in Germany but the cost might scare most of you away (4-500 USD). Luckily my wagon came with one installed.

    I got oem hitch off my wagon im parting out.
    how much can I sell it for???
  • durfeecdurfeec Wagonist
    there is a thread tellin what you can tow with the wagon. you might wanna reconsider hauling another car with your wagon. that is a lot of weight for a little car. i wouldnt tow over 1000 lbs with a wagon.
  • WagicWagic Wagonist
    I'd be nervous towing over 500lb without serious brake upgrades. The wagon is light and does an 'OK' job just stopping itself.
  • The_HeadThe_Head familEE
    My wagon has a hitch installed, but no ball at the moment.

    How much are these wagos rated to tow anyways?
  • durfeecdurfeec Wagonist
    there is a link for towing in the "exterior quicklinks" part of the "bodywork & cosmetic mod" forum.
