    Anyone using a Curt hitch?

    Joe Mama, Timely post! I just ordered a Curt hitch (only option when you order through U-Haul site) and them immediately cancelled the order after seeing your post.

And I think the Yakima Skybox (which I have) brackets also come down a little more. Any roof racks out there other than the OEM rack that fits the...
