I built a crude table (with large caster wheels) that is exactly the same height as my tailgate. When I remove my hitch, I simply remove the hitch plate assembly. Un-pin the base from the rails. Tip the hitch over on the left side. Then tip tip up on end and "walk"it to the end of my tailgate. And "flop" it GENTLY on my table. Roll it into my garage. The use the table as a workbench when I need to clean and grease for maintenance. No sweat. No hoisting, No cinching/strapping.
Mine is a 4400, 18K version. Complete assembly weighs 285#, with rails, and hitch head attached. The frame itself weighs less than 200#. And is easily handled by a 67 year out of shape old man.
