    Yep - don't go to UHaul until you give Tone (find his link a shout about that hitch. He's got one that fits the VX. Find him: http://www.vehicross.info/modules.ph...=newlink&id=15

    Good luck!

    Yes - Tone's hitch is the way to go.
    .
    It looks as good - or better - than a factory unit would look.
    .
    The cladding does require a little bit of cutting - but I don't believe any welding is involved .... (I should know this - but I have not found he time to install mine ..... ) ......
    .
    My hood insert also has a few small flaws ......a small crack or two ...... and it has a few very small 'bubbles' ..... (tiny bubbles - where is Lawrence Welk when you need him) ........ btw: it was not painted
    .
    A $ 250-350 estimate to repair the hood insert appears to be excessive. If the insert is painted, be careful if you do attempt to strip the finish - some paint strippers may 'dig' into (harm) the insert.

    You will have no problems pulling a motorcycle.
    .
    Years ago, I pulled two motorcycles with a Honda Prelude - and also pulled a two place snowmobile trailer with one snowmobile. Yes - with a Honda Prelude - a small 4 cylinder unitized body car. I did get some funny looks when pulling the snowmobile trailer - TG I only needed to do this a few times.
