What was that hitch called?
There is a hitch system that mounts underneath the truck, which has a long swinging drawbar mounted underneath the truck. The trailer is attached rigidly to the long drawbar, which puts the pull point...

Ditto and that with an OEM 42 gallon fuel tank, this reduced ground clearance by several inches.
That broke the deal and decided to pass.
Buddies who had the Pullrite on their 2WD pickups loved them.
Also gets in the way of the spare tire mounted under the bed, another dealbreaker for my Silverado pickup.JRscooby wrote:
Brother had the same hitch on 4 Suburbans, and it was a witch to change vehicles. And because it had to swing past the ends of bumper, it stuck out a long way when it was in center.
Bolting tight to a channel shaped frame, just drill and bolt. Box section? Harder to drill, and need a sleeve to be sure the box does not distort when torque the bolt.
As for the way it tracks; It tracks more like a 5th wheel. The part between ball and pivot becomes a trailer extension/longer trailer. And the pivot close to axle near same as 5th
Was I quoted so you could show a picture of what I was saying?
IIRC, on at least 1 of the 'burbs we had to cut the bottom out of the spare tire well. When the hole was patched the spare would no longer hide in the quarter panel. We mounted it to the owner installed bulkhead behind the driver.
