Or come get this ML I got and get the tranny sorted out.  It's in really nice shape otherwise, nicer than that one, though it will need a new tire or two.

Max check this one out in West Trashley, has a hitch on it. Cheepcheep, you can probably beat him down some.

It has an aftermarket hitch and a sketchy wire
The current 2" Curt offering for W163 bolts to the four hitch mount holes
in the bumper frame and is rated for 3500lb.
The 2" Draw-Tite is similar to the Curt, but also includes a couple of
reinforcing brackets that strengthen the bumper frame at the ends where
it's welded to the frame rails, and is rated for 5,000lb if you install the reinforcements. I never knew why they did that, as I thought the W163 was
rated for 5000lb as-is, without bolting extra gussets to the frame.

I think I've seen W163 with 1 1/4" receivers on them, don't ask me what's
up with that but I wouldn't consider towing over 2000lb with them.

Mitch.
