Tow Hitch on Scout Traveler & Terra production models confirmed. Location you prefer?

No problem with a traditional 2" or 2.5" receiver. I guess no real reason for 2.5". I recently decided to put away my collection of balls and drops to a Tow and Stow adjustable. It gives me adjustable height to handle various different trailers, 2 balls (to handle various trailers), and stows fairly tightly to the rear of the vehicle. I see NO benefit in a hidden hitch - just seems like one more thing to cause problems.

I am in Texas, every truck near me has a hitch on the back. Online people whine and cry about balls sticking out the back of vehicles. We have working vehicles, and generally consider it a problem of people walking while looking at their cell phones. Annoying enough to have 3 different balls in the back seat AND one in the receiver. Stow and Go solved all of those problems, and I can even stow it and save the people who can not keep their eyes off their cell phone screens.

Only real problem with the stow and go - my trucks license plate is directly above the hitch, so I can not reverse it and get up and out of the way, it has to tuck under.

My reservation is for the Traveler and I need a hitch for a bike rack. I want the spare tire on the tailgate and that means my rack (1Up) might need a hitch extender to mate up with a standard location hitch receiver. My bikes are of the E variety and weigh a combined 100lbs so not too bad from a cantilevered load perspective.

On the Bronco and F150, the Kuat Pivot connects to the hitch, provides both the correct extention (& 2" drop) to clear the spare, and the swing-away capability for loading for either a tailgate or swinggate. Works with Kuat & other bike racks, loading platforms, fishing racks. Great for bikes, including 2 ebikes. NOT suitable for towing.
