The fact that ECS has the OEM unit for $430 seals the deal. It's a very reasonable price to pay for OEM and peace of mind.

Ghost Flame: Your dealer is clearly trying to rip you off. $1800 is ridiculous! You can the OEM hitch from ECS and there are excellent DIY installation instructions here.
I wish someone would have taken a pic of one of the failures.
