Bumper Hitch for 99 Blazer

99BlazerLS2WD · 01-29-2007, 02:22 PM

I was searching and didn't quite find what I was looking for. I have a stock 99 Blazer 2WD and I was wanting to tow a small trailer (lawn mower, etc...). I was wondering what you guys are using to tow with? I want to go the cheap route because I just want to use my father in law's trailer every now and then. I'm not towing anything heavy, so I don't really need any heavy duty hitches. What brand hitches are you using, and does it make a difference? Thanks in advance.

Just go to the local salvage yard and by a used reciever. They are alot cheaper there, and you wont have any issues pulling a trailor.

I am looking for the same thing. Anyone know what all years are interchangeable?

the 95-97 have a shorter rear bumper and are interchangeable
98 and up have a bracket for the longer bumper and will not swap with the earlier models. I presume you could cut the bracket off but I couldn't say if it would weaken the reciever
