We've got an Amtran as well. We kept the tow hooks and bolted on a Curt 14082 Class IV forward of them. It fit perfectly, no welding required, just drilled out a few holes. I imagine you can find a Class V that will fit.
We also added a 10" drop hitch, to try to keep our tow bar level when pulling our Toad....and we proceeded to scrape the hell out of the tow bar on several dips on the pavement. For that reason, I'm putting a new tow plate on the Toad that will exit above the bumper instead of below it. I tell you this just as a cautionary tale about having too low of a drop.
