I see that my local uhaul has a hitch available for the machE and charges only $88 to install (draw Tite hitch part number 76460) has anyone gotten a hitch installed at a U-Haul ? Any reviews or things I should know.

I was planning to use the hitch only for a bike rack , so probably do not need the ball mount, hitch ball and wiring, right! I am not really what these are for ( u get these on the uhaul page when u set up the installation)

U haul is a very dependable place to get a hitch installed. I think they may install the most hitches in the US. I got the same hitch installed there and it was easy. If you are installing just for a bike rack you won't need the other stuff

I have had two Draw-Tite hitches installed by my local garage, they will be cutting the bottom cover for it to exit so be aware of that. Forced me to trade it in with it with the hitch.

First one on a 2021 Premium I had the wiring but never had a chance to tow with so just our two bikes got to ride around On the back.

I put the new hidden Draw-Tite on my 2022 GT, the receiver plugs in from underneath so you don’t see it when it isn’t in use and aren’t carrying around the extra weight (if you leave it in the garage).

Given the hassle of running the power to the battery it might be more if you do add the lights. Lots of covers and fasteners have to come off to do the job right.

There is no OEM hitch here. Everyone is installing aftermarket (draw-tite, curt, ecohitch, etc). U haul will do a great job. Yes, you will have to cut your bumper, but everyone w a Mach e in the US who has a hitch installed has to do this. I dodnt get wiring installed as mine is for a ski rack in the winter and bike rack in the summer

I'm also in NOVA if you want to see the OEM hitch in person.

Uhaul hitch I saw was huge and sticking out like a home made welded tee. Good luck.

U-Haul just sells the other company's hitches, and they all stick out a bit.
