Question about body repair and hitch cargo carriers. Please help

Fellas

I recently was trying to fit into a covered awning and 'brushed' up against the support poles.

Can anyone tell me what kind of repair shop I need to go to have this repaired? It looks like its going to cost more because of where it's located.


Secondly, I love going to music festivals and my baby takes me everywhere. I've learned a lot over the past 4 festivals and am currently expanding my gear and WAS looking at a hitch-mounted cargo carrier similar to this one until I noticed that my truck doesn't have a female part to support such carrier. Can anyone provide an alternative?

Thanks!

Sorry for the huge pics!

For the hitch not having a female part. That's cause your only hitch is the bumper hitch.
If you get a true class III or higher hitch, it'll support a carrier.
You can probably find one at a scrap yard.

I'm sorry, I'm not the best with cars. Am I simply looking for a turnaround? If you could show an example, or maybe the part on a site, that'd be a tremendous help.

Please and thank you.

look up "reciever hitch" they are like 60-120$ for a basic U-Haul or similar one. they bolt right to the frame and stick out under the bumper. And for teh body work, i would try giving it a real good wash, then buff it out, most shops probably wouldnt charge too much for that, and probably any old body shop, dealership (more expencive though) or even a small local repair shop could probably do it.

The car is dented, the last picture gives it some depth but yeah, that sucker is pressed in. Needs to be beaten out with a hammer
