"I realize this is a little late but just put a curt industrial hitch #15607 on my dodge that mounts under my oem receiver cost $196 with free shipping. I then went to a welding shop got 5 feet of 2.5x2.5x3/8 tubing 5 feet of 2x2x3/8 tubing, a 2 inch receiver tube, and had a buddy weld it all togethor. I mimicked the superhitch setup by using both oem and curt receiver hitchs and making my own truss extension using thicker steel than superhitch on the truss part. I've got a grand total of $300 dollars into the set up. My truss sticking out of my receiver is 4 feet long, and I have a good piece of mind that my 21 foot sea doo is safe. I just couldn't justify $900 on a hitch setup. Just my 2 cents."
