Replying to: ml0126 (Oct 10, 2007 6:59 pm) Remove the tow eye on the right side outboard of the muffler. You must remove the muffler mount rubbers in front and back to gain access to the third bolt on the tow eye. I also removed the heat shield on the right side but you only need to drop the shield down on both outboard sides by removing the two outboard nuts.The heat shields are above the mufflers not the ones protecting the spare tire. I only removed the muffler rubber on the right one; tne the left stayed in tact. I used the longest bolt removed from the tow eye to hold one side of the hitch in place while I worked on the other side. I suggest you also order the wiring connector from etrailer made for the Veracruz. The factory wiring connectors are tucked on the right side near the tow eye with removable plastic plugs you remove and connect the aftermarket harness. |

No need to "wire" from fuse box all the way to the back??

Just curious how much you guys are towing with the Veracruz? How does it perform? I have a 2007 FWD Veracruz and the boat we are considering purchasing is 2800 lbs. This doesn't include the trailer weight, gas, etc. The trailer has a brake. The Veracruz owners manual mentions a boat trailer weight (with brake) limit of 4500 lbs.

I am looking at getting the Hidden Hitch t-connector. The after-market place I went to said I needed to install a power lead from the battery. I disagree as the instuctions do not mention this. Any advise or photo's of the task at hand would be great. |

Would anyone be able to post a photo of the hitch installed on the Veracruz? I am looking for the rear view of the vehicle to see how the hitch sits on the vehicle. Thank you As a side note - Wiring ordered, saw that the Veracruz is pre-wired with the power lead at the rear passenger side with the pre-wired plug for the signal lights.
