Wanted to haul some bikes and realized there is no tow hitch. Anyone installed aftermarket hitch? Any suggestions thanks in advance.

You might have 1-2 options for hitches on the after market, Check UHaul or Hidden Hitch. I dont get why they make big SUV's that have no hitch , ( I know the X7 like some have the option for the trunk opening with the foot swipe) but the trailer hitch to tow in my opinion is more worth it.

Thanks for the info.
Seems complicated to have it done. Had no idea it didn’t come with it.

I have been searching for a CPO X7 with specific options - with one of them being a trailer hitch. I didn't specifically track, but I would estimate only 3 out of 10 CPOs advertised for sale have a trailer hitch. So I'm not surprised your X7 does not have one.

I purchased a hitch from etrailer.com last year for my Hyundai palisade. Lots of info, pictures, videos and reviews on their website. They shipped it to me, and I had a local indy mechanic install it. I not sure I'd tow a boat with it, but we regularly use it to tow our bikes and it works great. You might want to check out etrailer.com.
