SignUp Now!You don't need to go to a dealer. I have towed two jet skis on my X-Runner, lowered with the SOS drop kit, without any problems. Here is a pic:
Here is a pic of the hitch installed. Note that it is not a hidden hitch - that's just the cap that I got to go on it because it was black and inconspicuous.
I purchased the Curt Tow Package from here (scroll to the very bottom for the X-Runner compatible version):

And here is the wiring harness you'll need:

You can see some more photos of the hitch on my truck here:

If you're lowered - you'll need a 4-5" Rise... likely a 2-3" Rise otherwise depending on your trailer.
Hope this helps!

Hey K2 what wiring harness would i need to get from ETrailler
that is exactly what i got and no problems. Just have a friend help u put it on, i did it alone and man it was a pain trying to hold it up and get the bolts threw the holes
Hey Klint, what kind of ball mount are you using (lift/drop specs)? Do you have any profile shots with the loaded trailer hooked up?
I don't. But what I can do is hook of the receiver/ball and get a shot of that. My jet skis are packed up in the backyard for the winter so I can't easily get a shot of the trailer attached.
I just went to AutoZone and got a receiver/ball combo with a 4" rise. To be honest, with the drop a 5" probably would be perfect. The 4" still is just a LITTLE low - but not a big deal... it's close to level. I just think that extra inch would get it to sit perfectly level with my trailer anyway. Also make sure you pickup a lock combo - receiver/tongue combo. I think I got a MasterLock combo for like $15-$20.
