New Utility Mod

Just had a hidden hitch installed on my car. Class 1,
1 1/4" receiver with a tongue weight of 200 lbs and a tow capacity of 2000 lbs. Granted, not good for much more than hauling bicycles.

But, if you're looking for a way to get yours and 3 friends bikes to teh trail, and don't have a truck or want to scratch the hell out of your Max, this is the waty to go.

If you didn't know it, you'd never notice the hitch on my car.

About $150.00 w/ everything.

After I get the bike rack, I'll have about $310.00 wrapped up in it. Not a bad price to save my paint.

The brand is Hidden Hitch. I went to www.hiddenhitch.com. They have a 'find a local retailer' type of link to find a dealer in your area.
