WOW, ordered this yesterday and less than 24 hours the package is in my front door. Good shipping service A+++++

About the item itself, looks very solid and I'm sure it'll last FOREVER.

Thank you, now I can tow or bring my bike wherever I want.

Fits like a glove on my Scion xB!
I have a Borla Exhaust and had no problem installing this Hitch. It is kind of low since it is hiding bellow the bumper but you can always get an hitch rise adapter to bring it up a few. No problem on the bumps, but I can imagine you would if the car was lowered.

Hitchsource prices were great and shipping was prompt. I was able to get this hitch from Hitchsource faster than local shops could get it from their suppliers, and for less money!

Like another reviewer, mine arrived slightly bent, but I was able to bend the side-piece straight again so that everything fit. Mine was only about 1/4 inch off from where it should be. If yours is more you probably want to get a new one rather than try to straighten it. I'm pretty sure UPS ships the boxes standing on their end, even though the boxes are clearly labeled "This side up". Curt could probably pack their hitches a little more carefully, but hey, at least they are being environmentally friendly by not using packing foam. Note that this is a problem with UPS and, to a lesser extent, the way that Curt packs their hitches. It has nothing to do with Hitchsource.com.

I was able to install the hitch myself without removing the exhaust or putting the car up on jacks. I think the easiest way to get it over the muffler is to remove the 6 or so plastic clips that secure the lower part of the passenger-side rear bumper, and then remove (or rotate to the side) that entire section of bumper. The clips are the same type as the one that you have to remove to install the hitch. Just use a flat head screw driver to pop up the circle and it pulls out easily. It's really not very hard to do and makes positioning the hitch extremely easy.

Thanks to Hitch Source.com for this hitch. A good product. Here is my experience:

1) Hitch was a good price & came with all the parts I needed except the hitch ball.
2) Install instructions were clear
3) If you install over the muffler first, it's easy to get on (you can kinda twist and wiggle it over the muffler, rather than having to drop the muffler)
4) bolts on quickly to existing holes in the Scion XB
5) Looks good, is hidden under the bumper so you don't see it
6) Seems to be a quality product.

I haven't had the opportunity to really use it yet, but I'm sure it will work well.

We bought the hitch to support a 4 bike-bike rack. We also had the hitch professionally installed, since we had no way of lifting the car up to install it ourselves. But the installers said it was no problem and pretty easy to install---the same as what the rest of the reviewers are saying. They just had to move some of the pipes over to get it in right, and it went in pretty good! We put a bike rack on from K-Mart, and we are very pleased. The only problem is it does hang sort of low, on such a low car, with the weight of the bikes. But with our first trip with the kids, suitcases, bikes and all, and first time out with the hitch and rack, we only had a few minor scrapes....and now that we got the hang of driving with it, we are very pleased. My husband does want to get extra shocks on the rear of the car, though, as a safety precaution. Thanks, HitchSource, for a great product, and easy way to get our bikes around. Now we can really have fun!
