Had one installed by a local shop (Attaches Montreal) in September. As others have mentioned it occasionally rubs against the exhaust. I suspect they mounted it wrong so I'll need to take a look at it at some point.

Personally it was the first time I towed anything with a car and I thought dragging a 600 lbs+ weight definitely put some stress on the car. For lack of a better description it sort of felt like the trailer was acting like an "elastic". While driving on the freeway I'd sometime feel the weight pulling the car back, and other times you don't feel the weight at all. Makes me worry about the additional stress being put on the drive train. Anyhow it does the job and other than the rattle it works perfectly.
