They aren't 2x2", or any industry-standard size 200 1991

re: "...They are the best of the best and still 2" x 2" receiver...."

I agree that the electrical harness thing is nice, but they aren't 2x2". I made the mistake of first ordering through my Volvo dealer their hitch -- but it came with a weird size receiver -- neither the small size of the ubiquitous compact car size, nor the standard 2x2" size. In fact, the internal size of the receiver is exactly 1.64", which means that it probably requires a 40mm square insert!
Since I have three boats with two different ball sizes, and two different tow vehicles (the other with a standard 2" receiver), I prefer having a receiver size for which I can have just two inserts and that I can use on both tow vehicles. So I never installed the "new" Volvo hitch, and got an "old" style hitch with the 2" receiver instead for my '93.
