While I dont love the way the receiver looks, if I was going to tow anything of size, I want that hitch BOLTED to the frame, not pivoting with hydraulics, etc for stability and longevity.

Seems for very light towing.

Would have liked to have had the Sport button on the steering wheel.

Somebody, somewhere over here was selling one of these kits in the US for the older generation models. Probably on eBay somewhere.

If I hadn't already done mine with the standard kit, I would consider it from an aesthetics perspective. That is the only unfinished looking part of the truck to me.
