Sounds good. Thanks Austin. Do you know why it won't fit? Is the exhaust in the way? Yah I know the towing capacity is less. I only plan to ever use the hitch for bikes and for yard debris, which isn't very heavy. If I have to haul rock I may consider something else. I normally tow with our old Expedition, but I think I will be selling it. Between the size of this and a roof top carrier, it can carry plenty. I wish we knew why it is that weight. I suspect it is just because the Sport is about 400lbs heavier then the Titanium and it's just a gross vehicle weight thing. I know the engine is up to it, suspension too, only thing that might be questionable is the rear diff and possibly the chassis. Does this engine use the same transmission that this engine is pair with in the F150? If so that isn't a problem. Thanks for the reply.

Could someone with a factory hitch please take a couple measurements for me? I'd like to know on level ground what the measurement is from the ground to the bottom of the receiver and from the bottom of the red reflector in the bumper to the top of the receiver. Going to figure out roughly about where it would land if it was installed on the Sport. Thanks in advanced!

Clearly the hidden hitch / draw-tite is a good option but what if you want it up higher. Has no one here ever even attempted to figure out what it would take? If all that is holding up the install is to cut the black plastic, that isn't a big deal. I'd rather do that then have it 4 inches lower under the bumper. Has anyone done or figured out if installing the factory hitch on the sport is an option? Just snagged my Sport last night, and I'll have a hitch on it at some point. Thanks for some input!
