Hey all,
Back in July I posted some questions about Hidden Hitches round tube hitch and how low it hung when it was mounted on my 98. Just to refresh your memories I first received and installed the #70637 hitch. When mounted the receiver hung 2 1/2" below the bumper and you could also see the hole hitch including the brackets from the back. Then they sent the #70670 hitch and that too hung about 2" below the bumper and the hole hitch was still visable. Well I just received the redesigned hitch #70647 for the 98 Xplorer. Can you believe they got it right this time the hitch fits tight against the bottom of the bumper and the tube is almost not visable at all. Its the most hidden hitch I've seen on the road to date, they did a good job. It only took them since june 23, to get it right(thats when I ordered the first hitch).
If you look at some of the 98's on the road you are bound to see the hitches I am talking about they hang real low and they don't look right , I have seen several in the Annapolis MD. area so there has to be some elsewhere.
Sorry for rambling, I am just glad they got it right because when I received the first one I almost had heart failure when I mounted and thought I would be stuck with it(I ordered on the net) and that was after I had taken a Draw-Tite back because of the way it was hitting the spare tire, but that was from a local store so it was easy to return.
It really is one of the most hidden hitches I've seen to date as compared to the Draw-Tite, Reese, and U-Haul.
