The 2013 I purchased this summer did not come with a trailer hitch and I'm going to need one eventually. I found an OEM locally on CL a few months ago but was never able to meet up with the guy to buy it and it's gone.

I'm not in a huge hurry at this point so I can hold off and wait to see if another OEM pops up but is there any benefit in doing so? Juts wondering if an aftermarket option would be just as good or possibly better?

My dealer put on an aftermarket class IV for me and saved me some bucks.

I one that I got was an aftermarket hitch that Dave Smith Motors in ID installed for me before I picked up the truck. I looked through my paperwork and didn't see a particular name. Sorry.
