<p>SuNa, I just checked with my husband. He told me that my car, a Durango, came with the hitch and so we did not have to purchase the hitch when we rented the UHaul trailer. However, he reminds me that with my former cars, we had purchased a hitch in the past but it may have cost a little less than you were quoted but since some years have passed, that sounds about right. We also had to move two kids and needed a trailer this year for both move because both Ds now have apartments with all the furnishings, whereas the many moves we have made with them each year before the latest ones, we have been able to fit their belongings in our SUV.</p>
