[Vwpickups] Does anyone make a tow hitch for the Pickup?

[Mark Bednarz]

Hi Tom,
I've never seen a frame hitch for one of these, but maybe someone else has. When I bought my '80 pickup (long gone now), it had a ball mounted to the step portion of my bumper and they had wiring in the back for trailer-lights, so the bumper is capable of towing, but I'm not sure how heavy is too heavy.

I recently got my 81 Pickup back on the road, now powered by a 1Z TDI
engine.  I still have more left to do and some bugs to work out, but I'll
get there.  In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone knows of a tow hitch
that's available for the Pickup.  I'd like to be able to tow things with my
truck's new-found power, if it's possible.  I imagine it would need to be a
frame hitch of some kind, since the rear bumper does not seem to be sturdy
enough.  If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

 

Thanks,

Tom
