2" ball hitch

What do I need to tow a small 12' boat with a 2" ball trailer on my 2003 WRX? I just bought a boat and need to tow. Can I find this at a dealer?

I think that's the place he's talking about. You'll also need the wiring hook up, which if it doesn't come with the hitch kit, you can get at a hardware store. That takes about a half hour to an hour to hook up.

No.
The place I got mine was from a store located behind the In & Out at Eureka Rd & I 80.
****ing dementia...can't remember the name...but their sticker is oval and says "Nice Rack" on it.

Fitment was for a std Impreza.

There's another RackNRoad right there. I called them and they were out of stock so I ordered one with the Arden Store.

These guys keep telling me installation on the hitch and wiring assembly is a PITA. Are they BSing me?

These guys must be BSing me on the wiring. Supposedly the price on the wiring without installation is near $150.

Compnay used to be called Sports Rack, then changed names, hence the confusion.
