Good stuff buddy. Man you look like my friend. And yes I’m Asian too so don’t even think I’m using the saying all y’all Asians look alike lol.
Keep up the good work

Thanks for the heads up on the difficulty of this project. I think ill find someone who has carried out this install to do mine :)

[@BrianFischer]

Trying to save some people some frustration!! I'm sure any body shop could do it with ease.

[@Stan_YouTube941]

thanks for the video. was looking for the 2021 installation with 3 bolts instead of 4, so very helpful. Do you think the cheaper hitch option would mount on 2021 Tesla? etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2"

Hi
What was the issue with the electric? Any recommendations how to install ? I need to tow a Jetski and want to have the break light and indicators working properly

[@BrianFischer]

Don't buy StealthHitches. Go with EcoHitch's. It's a lengthy explanation.
