When we bought the car in Feb, no-one had a hitch, but now they are available after market. We have no intention of towing and are using the hitch for bikes. Our hitch is for a 2" receiver and we ordered the bike rack (Yakima) for that size.

Re your boat - how big and heavy? Is it something you could put on the roof? Thule and Yakima make rigs for kayaks and canoes which might work. Or, there's a product called Maine Roller that fits on the rear roof rack which you can use to help roll your craft on to the FEH (see pic on Shared page). We have a snark sailboat and it's made loading and unloading the boat a dream - now if only the weather would cooperate...
