Got a price on an install comments...
I called a local place about sourcing and installing the parts below to tow our 2013 CR-V. Does this look like a good price? NSA Ready Brake Ready Brute Elite Tow Bar + Blue Ox Clevis (2) Blue Ox...

Price is in ballpark.
I paid around $3,000 for parts and labor to install '6 years ago'. Price also included a set of 3 locking hitch pins, coiled safety cables and custom fitted cover for the tow bar.
IMHO I would NOT do it myself. A dealership that has all the right tools and has installed thousands of them versus me in my garage?
Dealership install hands down.
Perfect example was the base plate ordered for my toad per specs did not fit. THEY knew what to do next. I would have been fumbling around trying to figure out what to do, they had seen it before and knew what base plate for another car would fit my toad. I.E. The Tracker syndrome changes from Geo to Tracker to Chevy Tracker to Suzuki to Suzuki Sidekick all within a couple of production runs. :R
Glad it was at an RV dealership where they handled all the problems. All I had to do was just pick it up all done and headed out on my first RV trip with a toad! :C
