I installed a Drawtite in 2000, it's worked well for me and the finish has held up on it, it has the part number 41902 on it and is rated for 10,000lbs pull and 1000 lbs tongue weight and 12,000lbs pull/1200lbs tongue weight in weight distributing mode.

I've pulled around 12K a couple times(non weight distributing) and it's still together, normal tow is around 8,000lbs probably 50,000 miles at that weight.

If I remember correctly I had to enlarge the factory holes as it used larger hardware, might have had to drill a couple holes, I can't remember for sure.



If I had it to do over again I would have purchased the Reese Titan V, I only saved a few bucks and the Titan V's I've seen look beefier.



Good Luck,

Caleb
