Does Anyone ... ?

[theonlyMcG]

Have a hitch installed on their P5. I mainly want to use it for hitch mounted bike rack but it could get other use as well. The main questions I have would be:

• Which one do you have?
• Do you like it?
• How much does it make the car sag with something actually being used with the hitch (if that makes sense)?

Thanks for the help in advance.

I had one on mine. It served the previous owner very well (cyclist). Took it off because I have to use for it. Would you like mine? It's in great shape.

I've got a hidden hitch on mine and have even pulled two uhaul trailers accross the country with it. Hidden hitch is nice because you can't see it except for the little black sleek cap that goes on the back under the bumper.

pictures? I have seen these on other cars, but not P5's. I thought about looking for something like this.

How much did this make the car sag in the rear, that's the only thing I am worried about. That and I have a Magnaflow exhaust on and I am worried about it fitting with that installed.

Do you have any pics of this?

Apologies for the night time huge pictures but you get the idea. I had my car loaded up to the nuts for moving across country. Full load of luggage in the back of the car, and a motorcycle, full rolling toolbox, winter tire's on rims, and bikes in the back of the trailer and it only sagged a few inches. Didn't look bad or anything.


Still getting used to the new image hosting service.

No worries that still gives me the idea of what it looks like. How close does the exhaust come to it?

Is yours the Hidden Hitch or something else?
