Strange my X came with the factory hitch, but the two previous owners never used the hitch. How do I know it was never used? The hole for the hitch pin still had the factory sticker covering the hole. Factory hitch is the way to go.

Since my ownership of the SAV, I had bike racks mounted to the roof on my Rola cross bars, a Saris ride on bike carrier used on the hitch, a Thule box mounted to the roof when we go skiing, and a jetski and jet boat (not at the same time) towed behind the X.
