Been looking at getting one. Who has one and how hard were they to install and where did you get them from. Starting to not trust Ebay's "Compatibility" charts anymore. Which is where I've gotten some stuff for my B2 and they ended up being the wrong product.

Ok from the back.

Under pass side.

And under driver side.

It is held on by just those 4 bolts.

Its a draw tight. Its kinda smaller than most, it's only a 1" receiver but its rated at 3500 pounds trailer weight.

I installed a "hidden hitch" on mine about 5 years ago. Fairly simple. Has the 4 bolts holding it to the bottom of the frame rail (have to be drilled) and then a side plate that attaches to the side of the frame (uses existing hole).

Took about 20 minutes to install.

Thank you for the pics. Seems like your hitch sits a lil low below the bumper
