I need a hitch for my new company ride--a Saturn Vue. Where did you guys buy your hitches? Where is the cheapest? I have found one for $134.99 shipped on eBay, but I must live up to my user title and find one cheaper!!!

Everything else I have owned came with one. I don't need any wiring, as it will only be used for a bike rack and a cargo extender. I won't be pulling any trailers with the mighty 4-banger :read:

I just need a 2" receiver hitch. Who has the answer?

I got a Reese class III brand spanking new on Amazon for $85 with free shipping. Auto Zone or one of those places was selling the exact same part number for $135.

I used http://www.etrailer.com/ to buy both my hitch and my g/f's hitch. Fast shipping and good prices. Plus they had a lot of info regarding wiring things up. Even their tech support line is great.

that plan didn't work...not too many 2009 (new body) Vues running around, much less one with a hitch

Every Uhaul said it would take 10 days just to get one in...thank goodness for eBay

I did get one already on ebay and it bolted right up with 6 holes already in the car--very easy direct bolt on...it would have been easier with dual exhaust (V6) though because then the bottom of the bumper would have had 2 cutouts (more room to wiggle it in)

Off topic.

I was surprised at how much room those saturn vues have. A chick friend of mine just bought one and of course I had to drive it because I have to drive anything my friends get :read:. I thought I wouldn't like it, but I actually wouldn't mind having one for a dd.

Well, I hate mine because it's a 4 banger, but it's free, so I can't complain. Not bad at all other than that.

I have several training sessions in MS, and my boss told me to take the boat with me. Yeah right! :lol: It barely gets through the mountains with my mountain bike on the back.
