Yeah, I've heard the same from several sources.
So here's some additional information:
The price difference for my hitch is $65, not $5 or $10. It is more like $5 or $10 on the wiring harness.
Brent Breon, whom I communicated with last June when I was originally looking to install the hitch, no longer owns the business, OutMotoring does. They simply put the order through to the same manufacturer that Brent did.
The hitch I ordered just arrived today. When I ordered it back on March 3rd OM didn't have it in stock and I had to wait for them to get it in from the manufacturer (or maybe they did a drop ship). Regardless I'll be having it installed this weekend.
