My wife thought I was "crazy" when I told her I wanted a new hitch, then she watched the bumper twist a little when I latched the bars up!

Here are a couple crummy comparison pics! Sorry not better. We were in the middle of a deck remodel as well as hitch replacement! Lol
The Curt is listed as weighing almost 70lbs where the factory, I forget at the moment, wasn't even half that!!!! And when you set the factory hitch down on the concrete, it sounded like a tin can!!!!!
