I am going to guess Mann did not perform coding?
In my research for the upcoming hitch installation for this summer, I have compared Curt and Execuhitch. When coding is accounted for, the difference is about $200. Well worth not having the ugly square receiver under the bumper.

Price-included coding is a major plus that Execuhitch should be advertising better. A lot of things are thrown in together with hitch coding, such as keyfob options, trunk close from fob and inside, LEDs, fogs, etc.
