Factory Hitch FSS
I have the original hitch with the ball and some sort of wiring harness I'll take $550 + shipping for. Price is because I have to pay someone to remove it. I'm not able to health wise right now. I posted the info on the Oris Hitch. It's the same one. PM me if interested.

I am interested, but funding is allocated elsewhere right now.

Update: I got a reply from ORIS / Bosal. Unfortunately no longer available from them, meaning the OEM:
Hello,

Freundliche Grüße / Best regards

if I could get a factory hitch to use as a starting point , it would push me along . then adapt it to a receiver style hitch ,std 2" . would also be nice not to have to re and re the rear bumper set up . then some testing to confirm its load capacity .

To me this is a task assignment most appropriate to a Ken or Jake (Ducman...) or others with the fab and welding skills. Lots of "looks easy" stuff like this is not really that easy. Might be the reason we haven't seen any good aftermarket or DIY options yet.

I don't see why welding on the car would be required. From what I've read the factory bar doesn't require it. Might need to tack the parts together in place, but there are adhesives that can be used for that.
At any rate it's just something I came across during my search. I'm not advocating one way or the other.
On the other hand this thread is six years old and I still don't see any offered for sale.
Edit: Clearly what U-Haul really wants is to make a jig to add to their inventory. I'm sure if someone sent them an original they would be able to use that.

Really...nobody is gonna do this, because liability.
Now Uhaul doing it..well, that would be interesting, and I doubt they would take it on, the OEM setup was IMHO really underwhelming in its design, and im not sure how it could be done better.
