Jim,


Those hitches are class 1 which is good up to 1500 or 2000 Lbs.  Check with trailer place to find out for sure.  I just borrowed one from a friend and towed an aluminum trailer with a motorcycle on it for about 500 miles with my 91 GL.  I was on 2 lane mountain roads most of the time.  It worked like a dream and I got almost 23 MPG for the whole trip.  Very satisfied.  The really nice thing about them is how easy it is to put on / take off.  We had it off of Lisa's bus and onto mine in about 10 min..  If I had ever seen one before, I would have made one a long time ago.  They are $159.95 at U-haul (installed I think).
