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.

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.
