No standard hitch!?!

This is more of a rant.
What's up with so many trucks not having a hitch receiver come standard from the factory? Isn't this at least half the reasons anyone would buy a truck? I know it is for me. I'm in the market for a 2017 SV 4x4 and just about every one that I have found is missing the hitch and trailer light plugs in the bumper. How hard is it to get this upgrade? That's a deal breaker for me.

While I get what you are saying... it's probably not a real big problem...

I'd bet that, if when you go to buy the truck, you say... you better throw in a hitch or I'm out... they wont bat an eye about installing one with the deal. It should be less that 200$ worth of parts, and it is literally 6 bolts and a plug.

I got my 2012 SV... it had a Uhaul hitch on it.. rusted to sh1t.. I replaced it with a new CURT hitch.. etrailer.com i think... $130 shipped... 6 bolts and two screws(i replaced the mount for the socket while i was there)
