Welcome MO2L, congrats on the Nox purchase. There are nice aren't they. I had a 2003 Vibe I traded for trailblazer. It had a class 1 hitch on it too.Just bought our "nox" on Friday. We had a pontiac vibe but it was too small to pull a boat that I picked up dirt cheap. So we found this Equinox at the dealer where we bought the vibe from and they gave us a pretty good deal I think. Anyway we already used it to pull the boat with on sunday. So far I really like it. Plenty of power and a really nice interior. It is a 2005 LT AWD with leather an dall the whistles and bells.
