Everything including TERRIBLE prices (must need them to support an admitedly
gorgeous web site)  When I bought the hitch for the Subaru Outback to tow
home the '70 single cab, tried them first but eventually came upon these
guys.  Price for the same Draw-Tight hitch was $40 cheaper for my
application without shipping which was figured over $20 (coast to coast
nearly), and the Hidden Hitch was even less so I went with it.

Incredible service, great prices comparitively, shipping included in the
price.  I went with a "Hidden Hitch" brand hitch and have nothing but
positive things to say about this.  The hitch on the Subaru had to be rather
complex and the fit and price were incredible (this for a Class 2, 3500 lb,
1 1/4 receiver hitch.)  I realized later that I could have in fact ordered
it for less though Whitney who could not assure me of the correct fitment,
but counting shipping and the fact this way it was drop shipped to me
arriving in 2 days, I figure it came out about even.  I strongly rec their
products and this distributor (or Whitney and the hidden hitch product)
unfortunately not for Vans, but I see Golf, Jetta, Passat, etc.
