Hitch was bent all to hell out of the box. Took a pry bar to get everything aligned. Had to remove single tow hook on driver side. $129 from etrailer.com with free shipping.

wat are you planning on towing with an xb?

no towing.....it's just for hitch attachments (ie: cargo carrier, bike rack, etc.)....our first ski trip in the xB was pretty crowded.....we didn't have enough space for the family, supplies, and skis so I thought this would help. I might also pick up the Inno ski rack that our dealers sell.

Doesn't it say right in the manual DO NOT attach a tow hook to the xB?

bigpappa... I also bought one of those 'platform' racks... 22"X64" with a 1&1/2 lip around it. It has a 2' receiver on it, but for 19$, I got a reducer so it fits in our receivers.. Works great!!! No pics though..... jh

Re-read my post. I said I had to remove the factory tow hook.

I bought the reducer too. There are more items on the market available for 2" receivers PLUS I want whatever I buy to work on my truck's 2" receiver too.

looks good

119.00 on ebay free shipping

Toyota Doesnt' recommend towing with ANY of thier cars which is why they don't offer tow hitches for them. Doesn't mean it can't be done, just means Toyota wont back you doing it.

If I remember right however, what you're talking about might be for behind-a-camper towing(dinghy towing) an xB.

I would never put a hitch on it because if do try and tow something you could really screw up your frame

Re-read my post......it's not for towing.

custom class 3 for carrying the real ____.

This is exactly what I am putting on a hitch/receiver for.......how is that working out for you? I have a KTM 400sx....not that heavy....was kinda wondering if I could pull it off.

LMK.
