I like my external hitch as it acts as a nice piece of protection for the cladding and fuel tank on drop offs! Looks butt ugly so I just never look at it.
If you do any wheeeeeling...
...I suggest the exposed style hitch.
The 'cross bar' makes a great "grounding out" exit protector for yer azz end AND exhausts.
AND..be sure to put a step bar on it...
..save LOADS OF $$$$'s when people run into you...or you back into something!
Trust me...I now...I've been SAVED three times !

LOL Zeus...great minds..again!
:eek::eek::eek:

jo, you have been a little bit of ghost lately.....
i personally would rather have the integrated look of the built in one vs. the loss of ground clearance on the external....
also, i have my exhaust chopped up high so that it doesnt have a chance to scrape and bend...(already wrapped my stock exhaust around the axle trying to back off of something)...
and thats why we have a skid plate below the gas tank ;)
oh, and jo...if you quit backing into things, you wont need to have your step bar back there..
It won't work on the VX anyway, I have a fold up cargo carrier from them for my Expedition, I tried it on the VX, the hitch on the VX is tucked too far under the rear end, so not enough room to fold it up. I would imagine the seat would be the same way. It is a pretty good idea though. Wonder if they take trad-ins on their products!!!

I've seen extenders on cars. I don't know if they bought them or had them custom made. Should be pretty simple though. 2 pieces of square tubing (1 to match the ID of the receiver and 1 to match the OD of the mating part). 4 holes, 2 bolts & an extra receiver pin - yer done.
