What has been you guys experience installing trailer hitches on late model WBX Vanagons. Is it a simple install? What kind of payload can be towed and what are the downsides/problems? Obviously the power is the biggest problem, but what else? And how much lower would the hitch make the van on a syncro?

I have a cow trailer that I use to transport various items... usually not too heavy, although I recently brought in a couple tons of base coarse. I use my Jeep (V8) with no problem, obviously, but am considering getting rid of her and just using the Syncro. Thoughts?
