I can jsut see a dealer refusing to honor a warranty repair on the engine or drivetrain after they see that I have a hitch installed. Granted, you could just use the hitch to attach a bike carrier or cargo carrier, but these is no way to prove the you never used the vehicle to pull a big trailer (or another vehicle! ).
Warranty repairs cannot be denied unless the dealer can prove that your warranty problem was caused by your modification.
