Default Coastal Tech Prius 2" hitch

Hi Everyone. I want to get a hitch for my 07 Prius so I can put a bike carrier or cargo box on it. I'd like to get a 2" receiver (stronger in rotational torque for the cargo carrier), and it seems that the only one available is the Coastal Tech version (which some on the web have said is wobbly and prone to rust). Does anyone around here have one that I could come and check out on your car? Or, does anyone have any insight they could provide over the web? I am near Gaithersburg, MD. Thanks.

You can take a close look at pics of my modified 2" inch Coastal hitch here: http://priuschat.com/forums/newbie-f...tml#post558310

I've done a lot of towing in the last two years and have had no problems. I did remove, sandblast, and repaint the entire hitch this spring. (Wisconsin road salt in winter is a killer)
