ive got tones hitch as well.. though i havent towed with it yet, so far im very happy with it, the higher mount and tight in fitting keep the vx looking factory with it. the wiring kit is nicely done as well.. BTW- I picked up a 2" drop hitch bar today at wallymart that came with a 2" ball, and hitch pin (500/6000 cap) for $19.99 ..a deal and a half...
