Hidden Hitch designed it right the first time, so I don't have to cut or mangle my car. They didn't have to be told to fix it

And, as I've said before, $50 is not worth it for the looks.

I currently have the factory hitch on my 2010 and will be ordering the TorkLift as soon as I get my 2013 ordered. It's definetly the best looking and I wouldn't settle for anything less just to save $50.

I going to get one and the $250 price is really good. Some people are just tooo cheap and want everything for nothing BUT they want the best ! I just hate dealing with these people in business,I'm glad that I can just boot their ass out the door and send them to Goodwill.Most people don't mind paying for quality, ya get what you pay for. That's my rant for the day, sorry but I needed that.

I have an update!

Matt at Torklift offered to change the terms, and I think it benefits the people that matter most - those of us who are actually buying the new hitch.

Instead of having to reach 20 units, it is now the first 20 people that will definitely get the deal. After 20, the deal is over. I also put the new terms in the first post. Hopefully everybody is cool with that.

The hitches are still in manufacturing and awaiting powdercoat. I'm not sure what the timeframe exactly is, but I think those of us who bought the hitch will actually get them sooner than we thought. They will ship as they become ready.

I asked for installation instructions but no dice on that. They won't release them.

Hold up there, Big Boy!

I'm not cheap and i don't go to Goodwill but even if i was cheap and did shop at Goodwill, what concern is that of yours. I'm more than happy to pay for quality items. But for the amount of time that i'd be towing stuff, the Hidden Hitch or Curt hitches will work great for me.

Don't judge people who you know nothing about. After all, i didn't suggest that you had more money than you had brains just because you want the more expensive hitch, did i.

Sorry, it's just been one of those days, don't mean to single anyone out, just had to vent a little. It's not like me to express myself like this and didn't mean to offend anyone.

(No, I'm not buying it - because I don't have this gen. car. I would if I did.)
I like where your head's at

Let's hope not. It appears that you're joking but I really wouldn't expect that at all.

Perhaps I could have chosen better words... I said, "I asked for installation instructions but no dice on that. They won't release them." That was in response to Matt's answer in which he stated, "We normally dont post instructions or give them out ahead of time."

So it's not like an isolated case of this particualr hitch where they won't let us see the installation instructions. It's their normal policy, which is understandable from Torklift's perspective. Why release the instructions so that all (including competitors) can see them before the actual product is even out?
