Deff. go OEM, if you want to have any kind of feeling of security, there's no other way to do it. Many companies make hitches that will fit (uhaul, reese, etc) but if you look at the design, OEM beats it by far. The hitch kit costs around $500, and comes with every nut, bolt, washer, the wiring adapter and kit for trailer lights, the bumper shock replacements, bumper counterweight replacement, and even the addn'l fuse needed for the panel to activate the trailer lights.

The shop used to charge 6 hrs labor to do it, but it was knocked down to 2.5-3 (i forget exactly but it isn't too bad considering what's involved) It is something that is very accomplishable by DIY, but it will probably take you the full six to DIY it.

The DIY on this site, is very clear as to what to do, and is written out pretty much down to a T. I had mine done at the shop though because I bought mine off a tech and part of the deal was that he would put the hitch on for free, so I went in on a Sat. and "helped" him (basically stood there as not to get in the way waiting for him to say hand me this, lol). However I read the DIY a few times before I got it done, and remembered quite a bit as we were going through it.
