Default Tow Hitch

What kind (BRAND- not rating) tow hitch is on your Sequoia?
I am thinking of buying one online.
I have seen 2 kinds out on the net
1. Drawtite which looks to be like the ones installed by Toyota (Dealer). This one has a "bent" look to it and is hidden under the bumper.
AND
2. Hidden-Hitch which appears to be a straight across set up that appears to show more from behind the Seq.

Can any of you who have the Tow Package from Toyota help me out?
Also can you all recomend a site to purchase from.
I have been looking around and I the best price I have is from etrailer.com for the Drawtite Class III for $145.95. Part #75126

Any info will be helpfull!!
Thanks!

I thought the OEM hitch was made by Reese. How much does your dealer want for one? You might also be able to pick up the wire harness for the trailer lights from them too.

Drawtite, Reese, and Hidden Hitch are all the same company, the Cequent division of TriMas Corp. I think they also make the hitches for NAPA and U-Haul.

I think the main difference between hitch receivers is the quality of the paint job. They all seem to do the job well. The only failures I've heard of are OEM GM receivers.
