Default 07 Aftermarket Hitch Q

I have an 07 Screw without a hitch, but it is prewired.
If I buy an aftermarket hitch, will I be required to drill holes, or is everything pre-drilled?
Part II of my Q: Anyone buy an aftermarket, and which one would everyone recommend? I currently have absolutely nothing to tow, so I'll probably just go with a class III (maybe a IV if the price difference is not that great, I do work in construction....)

Any help compadres?

Reese is the way to go.

Under the company truck, everything was pre-wired and there were metal brackets slung beneath that the Reese lifted up to and was then bolted into place using 4 or 6 (not too sure) half inch hex bolts.

There's been well over 10,000lbs pulled on that hitch and its still as sturdy as the day we installed.

Thanks for the info wakonako! Reese is definitely one of the ones that I have taken a look at.

Pick one up at the local junk yard. Usually $25 or so. You will most likely have to pull it yourself at the selfserve junk yards. Then you will know how it should go back on. New grade 8 bolts from the hardware store, and some lock tight, and your good to go.
