I bought my Ti in August. The first thing I did was have a hitch put on the car, for my motorcycle trailer. This hitch is the only one made for the Ti. It has a removable receiver, so the hitch is practically invisible. I'm planning on getting the Thule (ball mount hitch) bike carrier. That way I can install the receiver and the bike carrier only when I need it.

Does anyone happen to have Thule model numbers for the feet, rack(s), and accessories that they have used and been happy with on their ti? I am also curious to know ballpark pricing for the whole setup.
I appreciate any feedback anyone is able to provide.
Thanks - Jim
