Can anyone tell me if this will fit a first gen?

Yep, it sure looks correct. The first and second generation models (non GT I believe) use the same one. I removed my Hidden Hitch from my first gen AWD and put it on my second gen base model without..............................wait for it...................a hitch.

If you have had the 6 hitch screw holes exposed on your car since birth, you will need to shove a wire brush into each hole to scrape out the accumulated crud. The holes did not come with plugs from the factory. Shoot a whole bunch of WD-40 up each hole after you wire brush it clean to get the threads as receptive as possible.

I figured they were the same after checking the Curt website, it's the same PN for both generations.

Yes, my car is a salty region one, and those holes will be nasty. I've got a full tap set, so no big deal. Do you know what the bolt size is? Hopefully the hitch comes with hardware, but want to be prepared if it doesn't.

I cannot remember the size of the bolt; sorry. I'm sure each website states whether it comes with the bolts and washers. If not, I'd call the company you are thinking of buying from to let a human tell you what their website may have omitted.

No worries, it's a used hitch. I'll just get the size from my tap if I can't find it on the Curt, Uhaul or Hidden Hitch site. I probably have bolts here that will work.

Great link, thank you! I'll check my tap set for M12x1.25.

Yep, definitely going to need one of these

Picked up the hitch, it fits perfectly.
