If it's the chrome ball you are referring to, as the others have said, Coca-cola will work about the best. If you are referring to the black part of the hitch, IMHO, take it to a body shop and have it sandblasted. This will remove rust that you can't get with sandpaper or a wire brush. Then prime and paint it (semi-gloss black) HTH!! Good Luck!!

I used a sawzall. But if you dont have one I have some sandpaper you can use, it will take longer but maybe you can get it off by then. I would lend you my sawzall but I pawned it to buy smokes yesterday.

Reese, Draw-Tite and Curt Manufacturing have both Class I and Class II Hitches for the Toyota Camry. As long as you don't pull over the suggested weight capacity of the hitch receiver itself, you should be fine. A Class I hitch is good for a weight capacity of 2000lbs…a Class II hitch is good for a weight capacity of 3500lbs.

Call U-Haul and ask: 1-800-GO-U-HAUL (1-800-468-4285)
If they don't have what you need, try other companies, listed here:

Check your owner's manual to see if the car is rated for towing. If it is, almost any U-Haul shop can set you up. J C Whitney is a good option if you want to DIY. Don't install any hitch yourself that requires the frame to be drilled or welded; leave it to a pro.
