I guess I'll take the unit in. Bummer because it is a pain in the ass to get to. Anyone know if it is possible to take it to the dealer and have them deal with it under warranty?

I could not figure out why I disliked that thing so much and Carlos, you've nailed it--it looks like a Scion. To each his own, but that thing is pretty ugly in my book.

You can place the decision to bail on that purchase in the "good decision" column. That thing had nightmare written all over it.

One would think that if you made your living selling and servicing a particular brand of car, you'd be likely to know more about it than a bunch of guys on the internet....

I'm curious as to the Dalan as well. $500 for a hitch is REALLY pricey. I'll pay it if I have to, but if the functional equivalent exists at 1/2 the price, that's where I'm going.

I wish that would have been the case--I'd be about $40 richer right now.

Regardless, America's Tire gave me road hazard on all 4 tires for another $120, so if I ruin another tire, its covered.

How's that? The tire is $250 at America's Tire Store, Tax is $19.38, and mount / balance is ~15.00.

Once you ship the Tire Rack tire, you're paying more for it.
