Here's what this hitch is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. What I like most about this hitch is the bumper clearance that it gives you, so it should be nice and easy to use with just about any accessory, and it's going to maintain a clean look on the vehicle. This hitch features the two inch by two inch receiver tube opening nicely welded on the reinforcement collar around it. It's got the rolled steel safety chain connection points. Has a standard 5/8" hitch pin hole for securing all the Class III accessories. It's also got this half inch hole which is going to be good for use with the j-pin stabilization system which helps to eliminate some of the shake and play inside the receiver with the shank. The edge of this receiver tube opening is just a hair past the edge of the bumper, but it's not far enough past that it should really cause any issues like hitting your leg on it on a regular basis or any problems like that. It features a 400 pound max tongue weight rating which is the downward force on the inside edge of this receiver tube opening. It features a 3500 pound gross trailer weight rating, which is the weight of the trailer and anything which you may have on it. It is ready for use with the weight distribution system, and when used with weight distribution the tongue weight is going to stay the same, but the gross trailer weight rating is going to go up to 4000 pounds. more
