I had the 1.25" draw-tite hitch-receiver installed 06/14/99 by SportRack in Seattle, it took 3 weeks to obtain the unit due to supply problems. SportsRack had one UPS from IPD eventually. IPD provides the hitch mount for the hitch-receiver, otherwise you would have to pay another ~$25.00 for it. $9.00 for a 2" ball.

Price breakdown:
hitch-receiver - $141.95, Modulite Lite - $36.95, 2 hours labour - $135.00, plus taxes.

Towed a 8'x4' U-Haul trailer(600lbs) with ~350lbs cargo on a short haul trip with no problems.
