etrailer.com is showing two different hitches available for the vibe now. Take a look.Looks to me like the Hidden Hitch may not hang as low as the Draw Tite one, but I haven't found any good pictures yet. Hoping one of you guys have already tried it out...

Well -- I've got the Hidden Hitch one installed, and I can tell you it looks good. Almost invisible - earns the name. Solid, and works really well.Towed at 1000lb trailer this summer on vacation, and can't complain about anything.Now - I've never seen what the Draw Tite one looks like installed so can't comment on that one.

Here's a farther back shot of the Hidden Hitch installed on AtWork's Vibe at the Ohio Rally this past summer.

Thanks everyone. I did a search for trailer hitch but it only came back with threads about the draw tite one.I think I'll be ordering the hidden hitch shortly.

I am going to have to look into getting one as well. I've been wanting to get one so I can tow my jet ski again. I didn't get to use it at all this summer because I had no hitch. I have to wire up the lights as well. One of the guys I work with and I were snooping around the Vibe to find the best way to do trailer light wiring. We found that there is a wire harness inside the rear hidden compartment on the driver's side (the taillamp access panel). You could get a "T" wiring adapter and plug it right in there for trailer wiring. No splicing needed!

Quote, originally posted by silverawd26 »It is a great hitch and a few members have 1 already. No complaints about them so far.Wouldnt say that. I put one on my GT with a Thermal exhaust, and it hit the exhaust. Had to bend the hanger to pull it away. Thats my only complaint.
