Wanted to bump this thread back to the top and thank all that contributed. After some deliberation, I ended up biting the bullet and buying the Execuhitch / Invisihitch. Installation went really well, no issues, and I really like the fact that when the receiver / ball mount is not installed, you would have to be right underneath the car to tell that there was a hitch on it.
I've been using it to tow an aluminum trailer with a combined weight of about 1300 lbs and it's been great. The car has plenty of power for it, you hardly know it's back there. Fuel economy takes a massive hit, but I think it's more based on aero vs. load as the trailer has a pretty long ramp that sits at a 90 degree angle when up.
If anyone else is thinking about doing some towing with their D, I would think you could do a lot worse. The Execuhitch is pretty expensive, but very slick in operation and nice and hidden when not in use.
