Default Hitch option

2 hitch option deffer by $50 because one is for side assist etc. So prestige or those with side assist on order or side assist option will automatically get the right option, all else the other.
It is corrected - reversed in the new order guide update and available for port install now.

That makes sense. I'm not getting side assist and the tow hitch option number is "ATH" for $800 on my order.

So I am still a little confused for the 2013s. Can the dealer install hitches as a later addition or is it a port-only install option?

The dealer can install the hitch afterwards, but typically not at the $850 price. They will ask normal retail for the product and labor and I have seen quotes up to $1,800.

I was told "at least $1000" for my 2010 by the dealer.

Very interested in seeing pics of the 2013 S-Line bumper with the trailer hitch.

Anyone?
