I've got a couple of questions about towing with a 245 (automatic, non-turbo, 183k miles).

First off, I want to tow 1000 lbs or less (just once I hope) for about 90 mile. I also intend on selling my ol' pick-em-up truck and using my wagon/trailer combo for various little things (insurance really bites when you only use a truck 4 or 5 times a year).

So here are my questions.

1) How much do hitches cost (new or used)?
2) Do I need a tranny cooler?
3) Any opinions on the U-haul hitches?
4) Anyone around the Puget Sound area (Seattle to Mt. Vernon) looking to unload a hitch?


Thanks much.

Flint.
