And they say the only system that will work for this towing vehicle and trailer is the Blue Ox Sway Pro. The cost for this is $1000 installed. I don't have a basis for evaluating this, but it seems a hefty price for a light trailer with 285-pound hitch weight. Is the dealership giving me the straight story here?

I say show me where their insurance says that?
Once you sign the papers its yours and if they still say that then don't sign and walk away

They MAY have some insurance policy in case they get sued, but all they'd have to do is have you sign some type of form stating you were given the option and declined. I still call BS on them.

They tried to pull that one on me too but I got them to tow it home free. I then ordered this online and installed it myself in about an hour. http://tweetys.com/sway-pro-weight-d...g-hitches.aspx

Well that's a different tune. The typical sales guy would tell you that a bumper hitch on your Smartcar should tow it just fine.
