Hey friends,
I know it's no one's preference, but I'll be installing a hitch on my TL in order to trailer a street bike and a dirt bike on a 5x8 trailer. Total should be about 1500 lbs.
Like I said, it's not ideal, but it's all I've got. And given the number of others in here who have done it, I'm not expecting any problems.
But I'm seeing two different hitch mounting options, one from Curt that attaches to the tow hook and metal bumper (https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Acura/TL/2006/11321.html?vehicleid=20066349#exp-productdetails=.all-description)
The other is by Draw Tite (Reese has the same option), and it mounts to the tow hook and the trunk pan. (https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Acura/TL/2006/24755.html?vehicleID=20067031)
I would think the bumper would provide a more solid mount, but what do you think? Do you have any experience with either?
