If you decide to pursue the hidden hitch option, be sure to take some measurements first. We tried it on our Chevy Classic and have decided it was a failed venture. We did have four bikes on the front, but even with two we would have had major visibility problems due to the height of our bike rack. Lights were obstructed at night in addition to visibility obstructed at all times, we were fortunate to have fog lights because we could not use high beams at all. Again, our primary failure was not knowing the type of bike rack we were using and the total height to the bikes from the hidden hitch. It may well work on your application, but we will be converting to a roof top rack for the crew cab as Brad mentioned based on our experiences.
