Need to install a tow hitch to transport my sons dirtbike. It's a small 50cc. Saw a few comments about the draw tite tow hitch. Is this a job that can be done by a pretty handy person? Also can it be done with the vehicle one the ground, or is a lift needed?

There is a video here explaining install process. I had one put on my 2013 and looks good to me.

It's very easy. It took me 20 minutes. Go to www.etrailer.com and review the install instructions. No lift required.
 






In the video ^ they have the car up on a lift. I installed my drawtite tow hitch by backing my car up on two car ramps. Worked very well. It installed pretty easily. Just make sure you have some kind of pipe or something to get more leverage on the bolts. They are in there tight and the ones on the driver side are kind of hard to get to.
 






Thanks for the response. Im going to order it this week. I will update with the progress
