Towing Hitch from... Uhaul?

[Dygital]

So with summer in full bloom, the nature is calling out to me and I am going to answer it. I want to install a towing hitch for my jetski on my '05 X5. Contacted my service adviser at BMW of SF who advised that:

THE TRAILER HITCH RUNS ABOUT $1572.00 TOTAL IN PARTS AND LABOR.

$544.00 IN PARTS

$973.00 IN LABOR AND THE REST IN TAX.

I called the parts department to confirm and casually asked if they know of an alternative to paying $1500+ for labor and they mentioned... Uhaul. So I contacted my local Uhaul, gave them a make and model of my car and they told me that parts AND labor for this hitch INSTALLED will cost me... ~$200.00

Hmm, $200 vs. $1572...

So I wanted to see if anyone has heard of this particular towing hitch by Draw-Tite and the quality of Uhaul's install job.

Oh yeah, I have scheduled an installation for this Tuesday, so if no one else has done it, I am willing to be the guinea pig Will keep everyone posted.

Cheers!
