Subject:Re: Transport Q: 4 those familiar with GoWesty Bumpers

Only suggestion I have is to get BOTH with the 2" receiver. Those are so much
more robust that the difference in cost, in my opinion, is well worth the improved
value, usefulness, and durability. You won't have any trouble getting those into
your Prius. Longish, rectangular boxes. Probably 7' at longest. Call them and ask
how they are boxed for shipping or pickup.
