Default How difficult to add OEM hitch to H3?

I'm looking at H3's and I want to tow a small camper. How hard is it to add the OEM hitch if it didn't come with one from the factory? Are all H3's prep'd for a hitch?

You have to cut the bottom of the bumper cover to mount the OEM hitch. Other than that it is bolt on for the physical mounting. The truck is not wired for the OEM 7 pin plug if the vehicle didn't come with the towing package, but it is prewired for the traditional 4 pin. That is pretty much all you need to know... If you aren't doing a lot of off roading, mounting the OEM hitch is probably not worth it. You will pay $100 more for it and have to cut on the bumper cover just so you can get a little more clearance/departure angle. It is your money though so good luck.
