[QUOTE="Wayne Costin, post: 912097, member: 66136"] I ask some questions a while back about the Type II hitch and towing on my 2007 V6 ST. Now my question is for those that have switched from the Type II to a Type III. The Trac is rated for over 5000 pounds and the Type III was an option, so my questions are: 1. Does the whole hitch have to be changed or can one just have a shop cutout the old receiver and install the new receiver? 2. I've asked the local dealer if the crossmember is the same, they can't give me an answer? That is why I asked what I did in #1 above...if the specs on the whole assembly are the same, then is there a need to switch the whole thing? Seems like someone on here did just what I am asking? If so, what is a reasonable cost for this? If the crossmember is the same, I would feel safer just having the receiver cutout and replaced, than having the whole then cutout! Any suggestions or pictures would be great. thanks, wc [/QUOTE]
