Towing hitch for 5th gen...

Anyone here has one on their 5th gen?
I know few companies make them, the only ones I've seen stick out from underneath the rear bumper a LOT. Givig the rear of the car that SUV look.
I want a hitch with only the drawbar part showing below the bumper, just like the 4th gen. hitch design.
If anyone has pics or info please let me know.

I have mine installed by U-haul... if you don't look closely.. you can't see it at all... the drawbar part is just under the rear bumper and doesn't stick out at all.

I have the Nissan OEM one. It is nicely tucked away and there is a nice cover for them.

I paid $175 Canadian for mine. Installed it myself. Easy to do yourself.

Does U-haul install draw tide or hidden hitch for Maximas.??
I didn't know the hitch can even clear the ground effects. Nice job jlageman.

I am not even sure which kind I have from U-Haul.. don't know the difference between Draw tide or hidden hitch.. I think there is a pic of the hitch they installed on their web-site... but that was almost 2 years ago...
and no it will NOT clear the ground effect... as the end of the hitch is almost touching my rear bumper

I have the Hidden Hitch, you only see the receiver and some of the decal. The U-Haul is made by Draw-Tite. The hitch makes carrying my bikes so much easier. I paid 100 for my hitch with free shipping, very easy install. Chris
