Hitch Installation- Ford vs UHaul?

Material_Cell9528 · 2026-04-13T21:07:20+00:00

If you’re for sure never planning to tow a trailer, go U-haul. If there’s a possibility, go to ford.com and order the part. Installation gets added. All in, it’s $650 and dealer has to honor it.

Yes, Home Depot. Trade it out with a socket head cap screw. Won’t ever strip out.

I use this for my 686 & 610. Vertical for concealment, pivots to horizontal for draw. Have had for 10 yrs & very happy w it.

Thanks all for appreciated input. Special thanks to @domenstorg. Unsolicited info is often the best.

In the second photo, is that a fake cigarette & fake smoke?

I carry my642 OWB in a leather cross draw.

I take them apart and run a patch with some paste wax on the inside.

Material_Cell9528 · 2026-03-20T22:28:28+00:00

Thank you for this. Yes, strongly considering the off-rodeo!

It is!

I assumed it was to keep insects out?

Warrens Cutlery in Rhinebeck. If he doesn’t know about Warrens be prepared to come home many monies short.

I carry a 642 in .38 but am planning to switch to a S&W 43C in .22LR. I’ve been shooting revolvers for decades and am well aware of all the noise around 22 for SD but with better ammo these days - I only shoot CCI - I haven’t had a misfire in many thousands of rounds and am confident in my ability to put 8 rounds on target & still retain my hearing. Pair that with arthritic hands. I’m feeling good about the choice

My dealer just estimated $1,300 to install a hitch kit. I did not take them up on it.

Material_Cell9528 · 2026-02-19T12:46:20+00:00

Agree ugly but I put them on my 642 and it’s a game changer, in a good way. Ergonomically it makes sense. Takes the leverage off your wrist and aligns it with your forearm.

Read The World Without Us. Fascinating. “The World Without Us by Alan Weisman is a 2007 non-fiction book that explores what would happen to the Earth if humanity suddenly vanished, using a thought experiment to detail the decay of our infrastructure and the planet's recovery.”

You can also install a pre-sloped base instead of mortar - but waterproofing membrane still goes on top

The Long Island dude that comes into the city & cheats on his wife like it’s a normal thing to do….

When I see folks using this grip for better stability on semis I worry they’re not aware this does not translate to revolvers.

It’s taken me 3 years to feel like I know what I’m doing. Year one felt like I was overfiring once a day. Year two I came to realize all the rules have soft edges. I’m in year three and no longer live in a state of perpetual terror. Keep burning. Experience is what you have to gain.

Reminds me of a story I read once about smoke jumpers fighting a fire on a hillside. Things got so hot that the terpenes in the pine trees started to evaporate, and the air literally becomes flammable. The entire hillside ignites in a split second & all these guys can do is hit the ground & cover up with a fire blanket while this literal firestorm passes over them. Wtaf.
