Had to return the first one because the square hole was welded crooked. Return shipping was as easy as it could be and there was no extra cost to purchaser. It is not shipped in a box so powered coated paint was damaged and there can be over a dozen difficult to remove stickers. The hitch is rated for 200 lbs tongue weight but I am only using it for a bike rack for up to two bikes (Two bikes and rack total weight 100 lbs). The design is clean and stays well hidden. It also does not require any hole drilling into car chassis. It took two hours to remove mailing and manufacture's labels and touch up damaged paint job. Fifteen minutes to install on Toyota Solara about an hour to install on Toyota Camry. You need a socket set with at least a 4 inch extension and a torque wrench. I suggest that the seller figure a better way of packaging for shipment. You should also know that hitch mount bike racks can block visibility of your car's license plate and police will not like that. [...]
