Re: '97 DS Hitch Recommendations
I have a hitch on my 2004 DS that I bought from M&M Golf Cars. I use it to tow a trailer for yard work, landscaping, etc. I also installed an aluminum utility bed at the same time. Both pieces of equipment are very useful. I can't remember exactly how it mounts however I will look tomorrow and take a pic.

Re: '97 DS Hitch Recommendations
Hard to see in the pic, but here is one I installed on my CC before I sold it, you remove the bar and install the hitch, accepts 2" receiver then.

Re: '97 DS Hitch Recommendations
Lost Husker, two questions
1. Where did you get the hitch, who makes it, etc. 2. Was the black top on the cart hotter in the summer time than a lite colored top? I want to go black on my cart, it will match the paint job better, but I'm afraid it will be hot in the TX heat. |

Re: '97 DS Hitch Recommendations
ScottyB would be a good source for the hitch.... as for that particular bed.... Nivel quit carrying them for some unknown reason, not sure if there is another source for them or not, but they were REALLY nice.
Edit: You will need to get that broken weld repaired, the hitch will put strain on that particular area of the frame. |
