Which Hitch to get?

[quadrinary]

So I'm about to move across the country and I've decided to rent a trailer to help make the move a little easier.

I've got a '99 Accord EXV6 A/T and I'm debating what sort of hitch to get.

I know that Hidden Hitch is, well, hidden pretty well and isn't particularly obtrusive. I know Draw-Tite tends to be manufactured a little better/sturdier so I'd prefer to get one of those, but I'm not sure if it's more obtrusive/sticks out past the bumper/etc.

Anyone have experience with either of these? thoughts?

Thanks!

P.S. - Any thoughts on towing with the A/T in this car? I know they've had issues (mine's been a champ - had this car for years and have it up to 126k miles. i don't abuse it either) and i'm curious about anyone having problems with this car and a loaded trailer.

Why do you people insist on making non-DIY posts in here...

Also - anyone recommend sticking a transmission cooler on this guy?

i used the U-haul hitch when i came moved from indiana to socal... went thru colorado fine with mah 4 banger 5 spd

with ur V6, i'd suggest stopping more often for the tranny to cool down becos it WILL take a beating... a tranny cooler would help to an extent

Thanks DarkSide! your experience helps!

Any suggestions on a good tranny cooler? i've been looking at this one in particular: http://www.autocarparts.com/part/937/3/

Does anyone know how much better that is than the stock cooler? should i hook this one up in series with the stock cooler instead if totally disconnecting it as the manufacturer's directions dictate??

where you able to find the right hitch for you? tried some rv bumper hitches and I think it looks great on my ride.
