I will take delivery of my new - company issue - 08 Fusion SEL 4cyl sometime in January and I want to take advantage of a holiday shipping offer at eTrailer.com to order a hitch. Has anyone installed a hitch on a Fusion sedan? Please provide a forun link or other details. eTrailer provides clear instructions, but I'd like to know up front if I have to drill in the spare tire area or if there are existing mounting holes in 08 models.

where and how much for the more attractive version? Specifically, is there an online, aftermarket, source for parts like this?
