    Unfortunately , we have to buy those new fangled ones then for $10 buy the old style spouts from somewhere, drill for a vent and then screw cap on. you have $35 in a gas can at that point easy!

    I have not ed online yall have regular gas cans, saw them at Princess Auto online.

    Like I said just buy the cheap new style at walmart and buy the ez pour spout, they sell it at TSC. You drill for the vent, which looks like the ones they use to put in 20 years ago. And then it's just a straight flexible spout that screws on. I have a few they work great.

    Yep that's the same thing I do, but it would be nice to not have to.

    Curt is or was made in america. They make a decent and aford able hitch. Have one on my Highlander that I installed. Appeared well made.

    I like the curt Hitches I have installed. They have the nicest powdercoat finish. They are not over priced like other brands. I have several curt products.

    I like the curt hitches too. Pretty cheap on Amazon as well. Bought both mine from there.

    I put a Curt on my truck to replace the stock hitch. Once the powder coat chips the rust underneath bubbles up the paint. Stout hitch but powder coat didn’t do well for me.

    I need to wire wheel the rust and paint it with Black paint. It’s mainly where the safety hooks attach.

    You know I also didn't think that even though I drive the highlander now. It was my wife's car for like 7 or 8 years. I put it on there to tow the ATV or lawnmower on a small trailer as well as other small towing tasks when we would be together and drive hers. So for years it rarely towed anything...maybe a handful of times a year. 2 to 12 maybe. Since I have had it I tow more with it. I got it as a hand me down car when I got her something elese. I still am not even a weekly tower or anything. So that limits my wear on that part.

    Disagree...That shiny new beast will haul wood as good, most likely better than my beater! LOL
