I have a Curt hitch on a regular height 06. My bike carrier does hit when backing in to my slightly inclined driveway. Angled approach works fine, though. You could temporarily fab a "simulated" hitch out of wood and check the clearances first hand before investing in a hitch.

 

I bet it would work fine with a 3/4" shank.

 

what is the price on that set up and is anyone towing with a 5 speed? i just want to tow a 4 x 8 trailer to bet stuff from home depot on

 

The hitch alone is about $93.00. But you also need a draw bar and wireing kit. Everything was about $150.00 with shipping from http://www.etrailer.com/ . I tow with a automatic but you should be fine with a 5 speed. All I tow is a 4X8 trailer with two dirtbikes on it. It still will cruise at 80 mph with no problems but if you have an aftermarket exhaust the noise is very loud inside. I try to keep it around 65-70 mph.

 

Towing a Single PWC trailor with a Yamaha SuperJet.

5-speed tranny, no problems going up pachecho pass, altamont pass, etc.. done about 1500-2000 miles allready on my custom hitch.
