There is no "ordering with a hitch" it is standard equipment on the X (at least in the US), and even with that being the case, some were still delivered without the hitch, and unless you looked or knew you were supposed to get the hitch receiver in another bag you would never notice until you thought about it. Took me 3 weeks to think to look and realize the X had not hitch installed whatsoever, I initally thought they just forgot to give me the receiver package.
