Finally 
epper:.
I ordered my FDII Patriot LTD. on Jan 6th. and picked it up last night. It had to be made to order because there were no comparably-optioned FDII's in Ontario. I initially wanted red but my wife wanted green so we decided to compromise and got green.
Installed the Hidden Hitch today, that was a pita because of the rear tow hook. I used a 21/32nds cobalt drill bit to get through it after I destroyed my regular HSS bits. But, thanks to the info on this forum I already had the longer hitch bolts waiting and the trailer harness was a cinch once I was finally able to remove the tail light fasteners. :doh:.
It's pouring rain outside, so first thing I'd like to do is to check for leaks in the morning. Next is to order a bug deflector and then I'd like to get some anti-seize between the brake hubs and wheels. This weekend I'll be doing a dry run with my boat and trailer to get a feel for the vehicle's response to the added weight.
I won't bore you with impressions, but we like it. Alot.
Sorry for the unispiring locale, but I haven't really taken it anywhere, yet...
