I AM TOWING A 26' HI-LO TRAVEL TRAILER THAT IS CONSIDERABLY LESS WEIGHT THAN THE GMC HITCH IS DESIGNED FOR. I HAVE PULLED THIS SAME TRAILER WITH THE SAME TRAILER HITCH BALL, TORSION BARS, SWAY BARS PULLING IT WITH MY 1997 FORD EXPLORER. THE TRAILER HITCH RECEIVER NEVER BENT LIKE THE GMC RECEIVER HITCH DID ON MY FIRST TRIP TO CANADA. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR.

PRIOR TO THIS MODIFICATION I WAS REDUCING THE FRONT AXLE LOAD BY 600#, WHICH MADE THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE LIGHT. I BELIEVE THIS RECEIVER IS OVER RATED AND VERY DANGEROUS. THIS FACTORY RECEIVER IS RATED AT 12000# TRAILER WEIGHT AND 1500# TONGUE WEIGHT WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE OVER RATED. IT ALSO DOES NOT TRANSFER THE...
