Took me awhile. About two hours total. Didn't even have to remove the muffler to get the hitch installed. Here is a link to the hitch I have: http://www.etrailer.com/p-28501.html

Well worth the price, and etrailer.com did a great job shipping the next business day.

Here is a vid for kicks and giggles:

Nice video......but did you read your Scion Manual? The xB is not recommended for towing, although many owners do no one has done a 2500 lb boat. I have seen up to @900lbs trailer and gear. That's gonna be a tough one if you are gonna try and pull that boat out of the water when its time to trailer it at the end of the day.
PDF page 135, if you break anything it will not be covered.

Towing capacity
Scion does not recommend towing a
trailer with your vehicle. Your vehicle
is not designed for trailer towing.

Man, people are just so oblivious...

Did you read after the video:

Zman

Oh my God, you are hilarious. I love some good sarcasm when I hear it.

ajcadoo

Frizz

I can't belive your going to tow that ____ing boat with a car that has a 145hp

MadMike550

the B does not have 145 HP


so..what are you really going to pull?..and when can we see the video?

Rayman

Thought that was part of your sig........

Big_Bird

Your xB has 145hp? You turbo'd?

ajcadoo

hahaha, does ANYONE get sarcasm?! And 145HP? Ha! Yeah right, the box is barely over 100HP...

ajcadoo

I am going to be pulling a single jet ski

ajcadoo

No, you can tell where the sig is by the : _________________ between the actual message and sig.

Now who's missing the sarcasm (I totally missed it the first time)

ajcadoo

If you guys knew the whole story, it involves every towing thread and lots of flaming. then the sarcasm would be understood.
I laughed so hard when I watched the video though. "looks dandy" lol

Anyway, how about an update on the towing of the jetski?

ajcadoo

hahahaha, yeah, lots of flaming. no jet ski yet, ill be buying one in june...right before a trip to the colorado river. ill post another vid (with maybe some humor) as soon as i get it. stay tuned!

Cool to see someone adding some functionality to their vehicle. I added a hitch to my tC and am sure glad. I mainly use it for my 3-bike carrier, but wired up for tail lights since we're planning a cross-country trip this summer. I'm renting the smallest cargo trailer that'll pretty much just tail behind the car. I also used E-trailers and got a draw-tite brand hitch for $90 shipped. Nothing but good stuff from them.

ajcadoo

nice

ZOMGXB

LOL

You forgot "TOYOTAS IN EUROPE ARE USED TO TOW S--- ALL THE TIME, THEREFORE ALL CARS CAN TOW ALL LOADS LOLOLOLOL!"

it's sound logic. :p

this made me giggle. I've thought of adding a hitch to my box...I just can't justify the price. :p As much fun as it would be towing a teeny little trailer around, most of the stuff I have to haul fits INSIDE the box just fine...

So, in order to do this, I would need to purchase a jet-ski, also. How much did THAT run you? :D
