What gives? Is this a typo or am I not reading this listing correctly? I'm seeing a multi-fit, Class IV hitch, all 3 pieces.....for $21.36.

Check their Reseller Ratings. They've got this part listed under at least two different SKU's. You might get lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

I'm not ordering from them. I just happened to come across that while I was surfing the intrawebs. I just found it to be rather interesting. Especially since the same part is listed on several different sites for roughly the same price. I guess they are all just the same company.

Are those 3 piece, multi-fit hitches any good? I just can't imagine that they would hold up as well as a 1 piece design. But then again, I don't tow anything.

I wouldn't recommend a 3 piece hitch. They look like hell, and are a pita to install. The holes usually do not match up.

yea...i could see that being a problem

I see people use em lots, they seem to work fine but I prefer one that actually fits properly.

but I was wondering if I could take a three peice and mod it to fit the front.
