    The Curt is made in the U.S.A. while being a lot less expensive? Two weeks to even process the order, versus arriving in two days? Curt improved on the safety-chain hooks?

    Why is the MDM more expensive with such slow processing/shipping times? If they're the same materials and design, what does my extra $70 get?

    I have persuaded several people NOT to do business with Curt. I was at MOSS MINI last year and gave them the scoop as well. Doubt they'll do anything about it, but I tried. I hate crap business ethics. And Curt, I believe, has them.

    Just adding that the prices for the hitches seem to be about the same........$600 difference, from what.

    Curt.......$270
    MINI-Do-More..........$270
    MINI-Fini...........$325 hitch + towing option.

    You're not even comparing apples to apples. The MDM is not the same hitch as the MINIfini hitch. So technically this isn't even posted in the correct forum. Which even more makes me suspicious. The MINIfini hitch is touted for its adaptability. Also good people that help the community. But you might want to investigate the differences between the MDM & the MINIfini before you look any more ridiculous.

    As far as being part of the community, well, not every body gets it. And that's fine. I'm not really thinking you'd fit in with the majority of the forum members. Being alone suits people too.

    Believing criminal allegations without thinking for yourselves (or seeing any evidence) is the way of sheep. These types of people could never be my friends; I prefer to surround myself with logical people.

    This preposterous attack on my personal choices (that don't affect you) is my only impression of this so-called (online) "community".

    Reese, DrawTite, CURT, U-Haul, MDM, are ALL basically the same design. The MINIFINI is also a hitch, maacodale.

    Ok let me first say I have no stake the hitch business and I do not have one.

    What I do have a problem with is YOU Mr. Come on-line guns a blazing picking fights with EVERYONE since you made the above statement why are you even here on our FUN little site?

    I tend to be thought of as an A-hole by some people from time to time ( ok a lot of times) but you are way out of line and need to reel it in or use the delete account or logout button.

    If you don't want to be part of this FUN "MINI COMMUNITY" then go away we won't miss you one bit. Others like you have come in before with Blah, Blah, Blah about yada yada, yada and are gone so don't think you are special or original in any way.

    Thank you for you time and don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya on the way out.

    Now that we have the full story on this I think we can close the thread.
