Take on tougher jobs and bigger plans. Whether it's weekend gear, work equipment, or trailer towing, this hitch is built to help your vehicle do more with confidence.

The low-profile design keeps the hitch tucked up and out of the way, maintaining ground clearance while staying discreet when not in use. It's there when you need it and practically invisible when you don't.

Took me about 4 hours (in 90 degrees weather :( ).
I would like to share some of my experience and hope it can help others.
1) Decided not to drill extra hole as I plan to only use for bike rack and think the existing 7 holes plus the 2 holes for the flange is robust enough.
2) Had difficulty disconnecting the 2 wire connections so just left it attached and was still able to continue working.
3) The instructions missed specifying T25 torx bit required to remove (3) screws from each wheel well.
4) torx bit attached to ratchet was able to fit between wheel and wheel well.
5) Unless something was wrong with my Husky torque wrench, I found the recommended torque to be too high. Therefore I would suggest saving money and not go out and buy (like I did) and just tighten firmly.
6) When reattaching fascia make sure to press down firmly on the back side.
7) When reversing with the bikes attached to the rack, the driver assist will interpret as an object so unless reversing VERY slowly the emergency brake will engage (you can disable this feature in the console).
Happy to finally have a receiver for my bike rack (after 6 months)!
Fits our new ID Buzz like a glove.

You're amazing for getting the job done with temps in the 90s! I know I wouldn't be able to do that, I'd be sitting in front of a fan in no time. Also, thanks for sharing your step by step feedback about how you did the install. I know its going to help someone a lot when they read it. Stay awesome, Gabriel!
