Default Need trailer hitch installed in north NJ

Can anyone tell me where in northern NJ I can get a trailer hitch installed? I know UHaul does it, but I heard there are other places where you can get one cheaper (they charge $270 for the hitch and installation).

Thanks in advance!

Do it yourself. It took me about 30 min to fit my Tahoe with one.....we are not talking rocket science here...it's only like 4 bolts and U R good to go.

I called York Trailers. It's around $255ish, vs. Uhaul which is $270.

Found another place that's under $200, but it's in south Jersey. Considering the time plus gas to get down there wouldn't really make it worthwhile for a $50 difference.

Thanks for the suggestions so far!

$150 including the hitch itself? Also I would need the wiring harness right? The prices I listed include that.

I have a 2004 Toyota Matrix XRS, front wheel drive. From what I found so far, it can only take a class I hitch.

It will be able to handle a 4x8 lightbeight trailer. Like the ones from Harbor freight.
