Thoughts on this? It is a Reese. Its the only one I could find locally.

Just to give you an idea, it mounts with 2 large, HEAVY steel brackets (they call them FRAME STRAPS), that run along the sides of the frame rails and bolt to the top at the frame rail and at the bottom of the hitch and in between. It seems really solid. I wanted to get everyone's opinion. and yes... my frame was bent from when some cadillac rear ended me, we bent everything back the way it should be though.

All of the welds are thick and even, it doesn't look shotty at all.

Pretty sure it's just a normal Reese/Hidden Hitch unit, I had the same one on my last Ex. Nice unit.
 






Glad to know I didn't buy something that was unsafe... It will mainly be used for pulling me or others out of the mud. My D-Ring receiver arrives from Harbor Freight tomorrow.
 






No worries- it's a nice, stout hitch. :thumbsup:
