I ordered a Draw-tite hitch from etrailer.com. Cost was $89.87 + shipping, so the total order was $116 shipped to Germany.

The best part is how quick it got here. I oredered it at 1pm Eastern US time and it shipped out at 4pm US time. It arrived here in Germany 6 days later. In the 2 years that I've been here, nothing has EVER gotten here that fast.

Thanks for the info, guys! I've been meaning to get one for awhile now and finally got the motivation to get it. $112 to my door for the draw-tite.

Anyone running a bicycle carrier on one? Any recommendations there?

Thanks,
Dan

I'm doing it initially just to carry a bicycle around, but plan to get a real small trailer later for carrying the motorbike.

Just basic utility for me so I don't have to join the SUV/Pickup horde for my very infrequent hauling needs.

Cheers!
Dan
