Last I heard was mid July.

i called customer service and asked if they had a hitch and assembly in stock he said yes go ahead and order it. So I did and I received an email saying they would find a dealer who had one and email me. The next day I get an email saying my order has been canceled. Wow

I keep hearing the purchase of a hitch other than a BRP will void the warranty. True or false?

I spoke to BRP three days ago and was told they expect to start shipping them July 1.

I got my trailer hitch and saddlebag retrofit kits from the dealer last Thursday.

That’s good. I purchased my 2020 back in March, and they told me May 22, too. Now I have been told July 7. So much for my trip. I wonder if the original hitch wouldn’t actually work. Aggregating

Pierre at Spyder accessories is hooking me up, he said his is easy plug and play.

I got tired of waiting to so I Canceled my BRP order and Got the money
back for my dealer for the part and the installation that I already had prepaid.

Ordered mine from Pierre at Spyder accessories.He has the hitch
and the wiring harness for the RT 2020. It was$499.00 which includes
UPS shipping from Canada for free. At least that's what It costed me.

It took me less than 20 minutes to put the hitch on and
about twice as much on the wiring harness didn't send
any instructions.

Even when you plug-and-play you need pictures.

FALSE!

For any aftermarket product to affect warranty coverage of a failure the company has to show that the aftermarket product caused the failure. In the case of the hitch that will be nigh impossible to do. It's slick marketing by BRP to say that if you use their hitch you will have warranty coverage on it, which you won't have for an after market one. In other words, with a BRP hitch 100% of your Spyder is covered. With an aftermarket one only 95% of your Spyder is covered!

I have the 2020 RT Limited. The show Chrome hitch works perfectly. I even installed the F3 Wiring harness and show chrome 5 wire to 4 wire converter. F3 wiring harness plugs in perfectly and every works great.

I would just like to add. Here is the actual quote from the 2020 RT hitch kit description. Spelling errors and all.

"Features
Heavy-duty trailer hitch specifically designed for use in conjonction with Can-Am Freedom Trailer. Patent pending impact-absorbing mechanical design ensures maximum trailer and vehicle performance and better comfort. Meets all stringent vehicle safety requirements. Integrated mud flap reduces damage from rock chips and other debris. Wiring components and full-function light control module included. Installs and removes easily. Only system on the market that maintains vehicle warranty requirements."

Nowhere in that statement does it say that your warranty will be void.
