    I'm not sure what you are asking for... The Factory towing package works for me. Just add your choice of 2" receiver and ball.

    Otherwise I'm sure most any name brand aftermarket frame mounted hitch setup would be adequate. What are you towing?

    I have the sr so it didn't come with one. I'd like to drag my motorcycle occasionally so nothing crazy. But was just seeing if anyone out there has installed a certain kind already that was quality

    Pretty sure there are only a few so far, Curt and Drawtite.

    Check out ETrailer.com, great guys based in the Midwest and ship fast.

    Im sure it'll show up in search but figured I'd ask here. Apologies to thread jack, but how much does the factory towing option weigh on these trucks?

    I have Curt and have been very happy. It was fairly straightforward to install. The only thing I forgot was to install a wiring setup but will buy one soon. They have great install videos for both the hitch and the wiring online.
