Can you take a pic with it deployed or with the receiver showing? I can't figure out how it works, by looking at the pictures.

Not sure it's just in the pictures but the top of the bumper appears warped

Waiting for the pic with the receiver as well.
Is that a rock or just dirt in the right exhaust cutout?
Also, check your left rear tire. Is that a rock or nail in it?

The top of the bumper is a little warped indeed. I'll check with the shop if something can be done about it. I think it has to do with the fact that the original core bumper support has to be removed to install the Execuhitch.

It seems that there was some kind of reflection in the right exhaust cutout when I took the picture. As for the left rear tire, it was a rock, not a nail. Thanks for letting me know though. I think we might have just invented the concept of car safety crowdsourcing! ;-)

This hitch is the best looking by far.
Do you have any specs on towing weight and tow ball down weight.
I have a Malibu Wakesetter VLX, so I need a hitch that is strong.

Yeah, I tried there first but the site must be down.
I'll keep trying as I think this is the hitch I want fitted if the specs are suitable.
Also I'll need an installer here in Australia.
