hidden tow hitch
I have seen the threads on the aftermarket tow hitches, but I have not heard much about the hidden tow hitch.
What makes it hidden or how is it appear "hidden"?
Does anyone have pics of the hidden tow hitch?

I've just installed the Curt hitch on my 10 RX and I am quite impressed by the hitch's weight, powdercoating, and the fit. The only thing you can see from the back is the square receiver. There might be a hidden hitch, but I've never seen it. Or would I know if I saw it???

Is that 'OUCH' above the hitch from an errant runaway trailer ??? Sorry it happened but have to know.

No, it is reflection of the flash I guess. I have yet to tow anything. As I mentioned earlier this is the Curt hitch model # 13451. Along with it I got the electrical T-connector 56083 and the tube cover with built-in electrical holder #21728. I bought all this from thehitchstore.com. My RX came with the towing prep pkg. and the electrical part works fine.

My 2011 RX also comes with the towing prep pkg as well. I hope it should be easy to install the hitch. Just ordered the Curt hitch. Someone in this forum mentions that you have to cut something when installing the hitch. What type of tool you have to use for that?

I saw a "hidden hitch" yesterday on a Tundra. I didn't realize that it is a brand name. There was a lot of it exposed and it didn't look nearly as good as the Curt. It was also a 1 1/2 inch receiver while the Curt is a 2 inch.
