Yes, the drawtite hitch matched the bolt holes perfectly, but the upper ones were really hard to get to. There was barely enough room to get your hand up there and then you had to maneuver the bolt into the stationary nut. They just didn't give you enough room. We have yet to put the bike rack on it but I am sure it will be great.

I'm considering putting a hitch on my car for mounting a bike rack. I'm concerned that having a hicth on my Yaris will hurt the resale value, since people will be wondering what the heck I've been towing...

If you're worried about resale, maybe you're thinking about selling? If you're thinking about selling, why would you put a hitch on it since you're not going to use it?

Kidding aside, it's just a couple of bolts. If you go to sell your Yaris, take the thing off if you're worried about it. Throw it in as a bonus & maybe they'll buy the car.

The hidden hitch was the same way. The top bolts are indeed tricky.

We have put the bike rack on the drawtite hitch and everything is working great. As long as you don't wire your car for the electrical connection for the hitch, it is pretty clear what you are going to use it for.

LoLz!!! If you carry anything heavy enough to require auto leveling suspension on the Yaris.. You are screwed anyway.
