Easy to install, less than twenty minutes. The hitch fit perfectly on my Scion xB.

This hitch was fairly easy to install. As others have said, it is a trick to get the hitch over the exhaust. I managed to do it on my own, with the rear of the car up on some rhino ramps. Pull down on the exhaust (I ended up lifting myself off the ground) with one hand on the pipe just behind the muffler. Use your other hand to snake the hitch up and around the pipe. Leave the opposite end on the ground to assist in getting the hitch through, and use one of your legs to change the pitch as needed. Other than that, it's pretty easy!

I haven't been able to tow anything with it yet, but should be picking up a trailer soon. I've read that it's a good idea to change out the front diff oil and the transmission oil (manual) once in a while to ensure longer life of your xB. We shall see. I'm not planning on going over 1000lbs towing.

I installed my hitch on a 05 scion xb. The hitch is really easy to install. If your car has tow notches you will need to remove them. Then install the four bolts that hold the hitch to your frame, torque and your done. Having a vehicle lift would be helpful, but anybody could do this in their garage.

Took two of us to install on the xB. Was able to snake past the exhaust system by pulling down on the exhaust pipe and stretching the rubber support piece. Installed one side and then levered over the hitch to get the opposite side bolts started. Looked sharp once installed.

This is a very high quality hitch but the installation doesn't work quite as easily as described because you can't really do it on the ground very easily - a rack works much better. It is a very good idea to plan to drop the rear muffler a little bit to get the hitch to fit over the tailpipe. I suppose you could squeeze it in if you were willing to put some force on pushing down on the tailpipe and bending the rear bumper cover but, I didn't want to do that.

Still, it was one of the easier hitches to install and the fit and finish are excellent. My only complaint was that the instructions were just a bit misleading or you have to be willing to put more force onto 2 parts of the car that I don't recommend forcing than is described.

Good product; great communication from Hitch Source; very fast and reasonable shipping; practically invisible under the car.

Buy one for your toaster!
