Don't go looking for an OEM hitch in Canada!

I guess its official... no more OEM hitched till further notice.

I was at the dealer this morning asking about an OEM hitch. After less than a minute in the computer I was shown a memo (already mentioned here) that the supplier has gone bankrupt (sounds like an old record these days) and that there were none available till further notice.

They checked the inventory and there was none, nada, zip available in Canada.

I was told that they list at about $700 CDN. What did they go for in the US?

I paid USD $495 two months ago from my dealer. Probably one of the last ones in the states too.

The story I was told by the local Parts Manager was that the CEO of the company died and there was a powerplay as to who was going to take over....regardless I found one in Los Angeles about a month ago. Paid $450 incl. tax.
