I have a 2007 and want to add a trailer hitch. I have to admit that I am AR enought to consider spending the extra money for the Honda brand hitch to get the clean appearance it has. Before I do that, I'd appreciate seeing any pictures people have of 2007's with Curt or other non-Honda hitches installed. Hopefully it will convince me to save some money by buying a Curt or other brand. For what it's worth, I just plan to use it for an 1 1/4 inch bike rack.

Thanks.

Personally, I am real partial towards any hitch that has a 2" receiver over the 1 1/4". They are a lot beefier to begin with and you can find more accessories for a 2" receiver since it is more of a standard. Plus, if you ever do need to haul more than 1-2 bikes, you will be glad you went with the 2" receiver.

Back to bikes... Think of the leverage you are applying when the bikes stick out a good 2 feet from the back of the hitch. Add in the motions caused by the vehicle hitting bumps, etc as you go down the road and you could easily exceed 100 pounds of leveraged downforce on the hitch.

I am looking for a hitch also...I was looking for the Curt ones...found a couple of the retial sights showed it on the '07. Looks pretty good.
