John, Clair will save you $50 on the price. No I don't work for them
but I think I visit pretty much every weekend since they're right down
the street. The hitch comes with fully detailed and is a quick and
easy install. I invited a friend over to help (remembering my last
hitch install) but it was so easy he just sat around and drank beers.
The Baurer rack looks pretty cool.

Good Luck
