Like I mentioned earlier, my frame is pretty stout, and the factory installed receiver is fastened at several points, but mostly to a thick steel 3 inch solid square tubing, that runs frame to frame. It is solid! Like I said earlier, I feel the manufacturer has other reasons to under rate these receivers.
Towing a 3K utility trailer, not much of an issue, if properly loaded, but hanging 500 lbs on that hitch, such as a motorcycle will add weight to rear axle, and lighten pin.
Sounds like yours is well built, but low rated also.

Jerry, Our hitches are likely plenty strong, just playing it safe with attorneys and litigation! I don’t think that lightening my pin weight by 500 pounds would be a bad thing! ;)
