Question Hitch

Looks like I will be getting mine in a few days. Talked to the dealer and they are going to pick it up, it's in Miami.

Anyway, we are taking a vacation in a couple of weeks and we though about taking the HHR as a good breaking trip. Three adults and a 3y/o for a week. I use a hitchhaul on the back of the MPV for these trips mainly for coolers and a large little tikes wagon. So I will also need a hitch for the HHR ( two vehicles that only have initials for the name). I did a search online and found three, prices were about $123-130 for two of them and the third was about $150. Hidden Hitch was one of the cheaper ones and I have used those in the past. Painless wiring harness was about $25.

Anyone else have some leads for hitches?

That was the other brand I was trying to remember what it was, one was Hidden Hitch and the other was Draw Tight. Curt was the highest.

Well, give me a quote for shipping to 29485. I need the hitch and wiring. I just got notified they are paying out on my truck tomorrow morning. So I will be in the HHR in the next few days.

The price I had online was $155 + shipping, which is $.99 for items over $150. If you can match that, you've got a sale. What else do you carry?

Edit: Just looked at your web page, add the visors (inchannel) and give me a quote.

We just got in a new batch of hitches and leveling kits. The hitches are now $139.98. If you use the order now button it will put the item in your shopping cart with a configured shipping cost. Add both the visors and hitch(wiring if you need it also) to the cart and it should be $18 for shipping if i figured it right. The hitch alone is $17 for shipping, so your getting the visors for basically $1 shipping .

I will say, your prices on the visors is cheaper. When I'm ready to get those. Looks like you will get that deal.
