I just got an 05' Jeep GC 5.7l Hemi. It supposedly has the tow package but does not have a hitch. I am planning on getting a hitch installed while I am home on winter break from college. I was wondering:

Where do you guys recommend I get it installed?

I looked at Uhaul but I noticed their class III hitch is a tubular design. I've heard a square design is much better. Is this true?

Should I take it to an RV dealer to get one installed?

Is class III what I should be looking at?
I will mostly just be pulling a pair of Honda Aquatrax with it but I would like the ability to tow my parents 21' Outback camper if need be.

Most hitches anymore are straight up bolt-on design, no drilling or cutting necessary. This is something you can do at home with hand tools. http://www.reeseprod.com/

Same goes for the wiring.....plug and play, no cutting, splicing, soldering, or confusion.

I wouldn't bother with anything less than Class III....II and I are for cars pulling light little trailers (harbor freight type stuff).
