    does anyone know the rating of the factory hitch on the 92 -96 Roadmaster wagons? My wagon does not have a hitch and I was wondering if the holes are all pre-drilled from the factory.
    I have a 21' pontoon that wants to follow my woody to the river. Any advise or does anyone have a hitch?

    thanks

    But...check the Service Parts Identification tag in the spare wheel well. To get a trailer going with any pull weight you need to be equipped with the trailer package. The package comes with 2.96 gears instead of the 2.56 and with a G80 posi, different springs etc.

    I got a local quote of $350 installed and thought if I could do better on my own I would. I have tools and some knowledge to do it on my own.

    thanks

    Jaime...if your wagon is factory equipped with the trailer package...many of them are even though they have no hitch...you should have everything you need in the car. I think the factory package will allow up the 5,000 Lbs of tow weight.

    and where do I find this parts ID? No tags in the spare area just in the jam of the tail gate. Any numbers I should be hoping for?
