Hi, I'm a 30 year old guy who just sold his 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata (2 seater roadster convertible) that had lots of mods like coilover suspension, engine header, wheels, etc. You can barely fit a passenger in it.. It was a fun daily driver that I tracked a few times. Yesterday I bought a 2016 Transit Connect XLT and I absolutely love the van. 32k miles for $16k. It's nimble, light (for a van), but could use another 20-30 horsepower especially if it's full of passengers. I managed 32 mpg highway on the way home! I can now actually move stuff, like if I move [homes], buy a bigger tv, etc. Also I can now travel and use it as my camper in the future. I plan to remove at least the farthest two rear seats for more space. My fiance has 2 small children and wants to have another. Oh, and I'm job searching and if I cannot find a job in my field in the next few weeks, I'll become an Uber and Lyft driver to make some side money thanks to the Transit. Thanks! (Me on the left)

The curt hitch is flush with the bumper and has a 1 inch drop. The ball mount I use has a bout a 4 inch rise to allow the trailer frame to be level.

It's about flush with the back of the bumper, but it's tucked up very tight with the bottom lip of it If you have a need for the 2" receiver, by all means go that way - It is more versatile, though they do make bike racks for the 1 1/4 receivers too - My daughter has one on her car and she never pulls a trailer. Otherwise, I actually prefer the smaller Class 2 for 4 cylinder cars which will never tow anything heavy where you don't need the extra tongue weight rating Don
