    Am I safe to assume there where no changes to the C model between 2015 and 2016. I for the life of me cant find a hitch receiver to fit the 16 model year, but everyone has one that fits the 15 models. Thanks for any info.

    Yup that eco hitch is #1!

    1600lbs trailer plus 400lbs of driver + passenger and trunk cargo.

    1 1/4. This size is good up to 3500lbs and has a very small silhouette. You don't need a big ugly 2" hitch.

    Also notice no rear end sag? Search firestone air bag helpers on here so you can have a safer level haul.

    Thanks, I really was hoping for a cheaper route knowing I am only going to use it once or twice a year but I guess it will be worth it

    Both. Choose your size from the options menu on that page.
    I did too, but I live much closer to their facility.
