the wiring is just a plugin device you can purchase it at Etrailer.com for like $25. Takes about 5 minutes to plug it in your self. You can simply just keep it in the spare tire area no need to run it outside the car where it will get messed up in the weather and road grime etc. If you ever need it all you do is pull the cord out and shut the hatch on it been doing this since 2001 works great and your wiring stays clean and fully operational for the life of the car.

I'm actually looking for a pic from "hitch level" so I can get an idea of exactly how low it is and how visible it really is.

Thanks!!

Rough guess based on my Hidden Hitch which is more or less mounted the same way the hitch sits about 12inches off the ground. For comparison my 93 Land cruiser with 34inch proper off road tires on it the hitch bar was about 9inches off the ground. None of the 2inch hitch bars stick out beyond the bumper given the way they mount under the car and sit back under the bumper. The factory 1 1/4 hitch passes through the bumper and sticks out probably due to the fact you would not have the ability to get the pin into the receiver if the receiver did not stick out far enough through the bumper to access the pin location.
