      Part #11702

      Installation is going to require drilling holes into your Spare tire well, and also into the bumper. It should be plenty strong enough to tow what you want.

      You will also need electrical along with that. Which will be a hardwire. Meaning running a line to the battery, using a converter box, and running lines to your lights.

      Electrical should run you about $35 or so new
      The hitch Should retail you about $225(of course there are online sites that undercut everyone else) Which this being R3V and you most likely being cheap is your logical choice.

          Thats the hitch I bought. You can also get the wiring harness from that website as well. The hitch is very easy to install! You drill 4 holes in the spare tire well, and 2 holes in the diving board. The kit comes with all the hardware. Ive been towing my jetskis with my E30 for the last 3 years now and the hitch has held up great!
