PV Trailer Hitch 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be SteveW on  Fri Feb 25 06:10 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I used to have a 544 with a trailer hitch on it. The hitch attached to the body in the "trench" portion of the trunk (behind the gas tank and just inside the trunk lid). The hitch also attached to the points where the bumper bolts to the bumper bracket, just inside the vertical overriders.

There were a total of 4 attachment points for the hitch, the 2 on the bumper, and the two on the body. The 2 body attachment points were about 15 inches apart from each other to spread the load and make the hitch stable.

If your 544 is sound of body, then the hitch is pretty stout, probably suitable to pull as much weight as you'd want to try to move with the 4 cylinder engine. I had no trouble towing a small boat or a 5x8 U-Haul trailer with my 544.
