Here's one from eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619&item=250903911583&viewitem=&category=33653

Most of the hitches I see on there are class I hitches, this one's a class II so a little bit stronger.  The class Is are cheaper, though...

If you don't mind buying used, keep an eye on your local craigslist. I picked up a Reese Shadow hitch for my '95 Sidekick for $40. It was a bit rusty, so I sanded it down, primed, and repainted it.

I just hung a Curt 11128 on my Sidekick. Got it off ebay
on sale for $112 with free shipping. They even included
the ball mount thingy.

It was easy, no drilling. And if your threads on the Kick are
cleaned out and lubed........ 15 minutes tops

no it's a whole diffrent set up, the bolt holes are going the wrong way for one. look at a bumper from trail tough or some other company from this Board.

Here is mine... flat plate of .025 steel welded up under the bumper with a bumper mount 2" box hitch bolted to it. I chose to do it this way so I could remove the box hitch if I wanted. I use it mostly for a Carrier like you indicated...
