I don't like the idea of cutting the bumper (OEM) but the Curt hitch pictured above looks silly IMO sitting below the bumper like that.

I went with the Curt because tow hitches look dumb on cars but look great on trucks and SUVs.
(I also do not like the length of the stinger on the Execuhitch - I like a short hitch and ball to keep the tongue weight right underneath the points supporting the weight, especially on a uniframe SUV. The Curt allows you to do that.)
I also highly, highly recommend getting a silent pin for pinning the hitch to the receiver for anyone who tows - locking that up reduces all the audible clunking you otherwise getting when accelerating and braking, which gets really annoying and unsettling in an SUV, if you're used to towing with a truck.
Overall been very happy with the Curt, feel it's the best overall design for function and price/quality.
