    here is a pick of a uhaul hitch installed on my tacoma

    from behind you can only see the receiver looks very discreet

    If its a really light trailer you can tow 3500lbs by just putting a ball through your bumper

    if you just have a lil trailer why not tow it off the bumper ball?

    The only reason i ever got a hitch on my old truck was for towing my dads jeep ... had no problem towing a uhaul 5x8 before that

    I just bought a Kawasaki Teryx I don't know the actual weight but it seems pretty heavy to be towing off of the bumper. I towed it with my wife's Grand Cherokee and it squated it pretty good.

    Hidden hitch tucks up pretty tight because the receiver box itself is welded onto the bottom of the cross member. You don't see much of the hitch when looking at the truck from the back.

    I'll second that, Hidden hitch class IV. Only the receiver (box) is visiblewhen standing behind the vehicle.

    I just ordered a Uhaul hitch. I did some research and they are tucked up pretty far.

    Heh, I ain't the only one with this thing by any shot. I just like to pimp an awesome product and company when I can.

    Awesome bumper number 2 is due in a matter of weeks :spy:
