I am about to get a hitch for my truck, of course class III. I want one that looks like the OEM one, ie- only the reciever shows under the bumper, not the whole stinkin' hitch. Does anyone know of where to get one for a resonable price. I have seen the hidden hitch's, but I can't find them for less then $140 plus shipping.
I keep seeing quality-s hitches on Ebay, and they look like they won't stick out, does anybody have one and know?

Thanks for any help.

Stick with name brands... Valley, Draw-Tite, Reese, or even U-Haul (which I believe are re-badged Valleys). Most of them for the F-series are the square tube, but I think Reese and Valley make a nice hidden tubular style one. Also, I saw one in the Cabelas catalog that are painted to match the truck, in case you're interested.

I put one from U-Haul on my last truck. It was cheap and very easy to install. No drilling, just bolted on to existing holes. I don't remember being able to see it after it was installed. And since there's practacally a U-haul dealer every few miles or so, you wont be paying any shiping. We actaully bought it and installed it in their parking lot. (just make sure you've got a couple of tools)
