I recently bought a 2010 DTS and while I like the car just fine, I miss the handy aftermarket hitch that's on my 1993 Sedan DeVille and want the "new" car to have one as well (my primary use would be for my bike rack that attaches to the ball on the hitch). I just found an ad for an inexpensive aftermarket hitch for about $160 ( http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Hitch/Cadillac/DTS/2010/90142.html?vehicleid=20107995 ), which seems pretty reasonable to me. My question is whether anyone has tried putting such a thing on a late model DTS. I don't want to reduce my ground clearance (these cars are already pretty low) and I don't want to start the installation just to find that nothing will work unless I start cutting through metal or do some heavy welding. I'm interested to hear what other's have experienced in this area when doing a self-install, recommendations for aftermarket hitches, and whether the end result looks subtle or totally stupid.
Any advice you can provide would be helpful.
