Anyone know of which hitches will fit? I found one through Draw-Tite which
is a permanant mount. I am hoping to find one that is a mini version of a
receiver hitch. I am not looking to exceed the towing limits of the car just
don't want a hitch plate sticking out from the bumper all the time.

For those that are wondering, I just want to haul camping supplies, fishin'
poles, and other stuff that shouldn't exceed 400 pounds including the
trailer. I know I could just put it all in the car but where would the dog
sit?

Just though I would try to be a little more personable here as I was being
lazy when I typed "me" into the name on this newsreader.

U-Haul will sell you a hitch (installed) for about $130, its what they
call a "sport" type which means the ball and tongue are removable from the
receiver (they'll also try to sell you wiring and a transmission cooler,
neither of which are probably a good idea) Weight limit is 1000 pounds.
