Just thought I would let people know if you plan on getting the TSC platform for a mounting a toolbox on the front that I bought one the other day and took it back today. I received my Curt hitch and installed it this morning. Then I put the TSC platform on it and guess what, the stinger part is not long enough. When I it put into the location to put the pin in the back brace that you mount the toolbox on is 3.5" recessed behind my front bumper. No way to mount the toolbox on it. Also the ad on the TSC says that it is 20" X 36" is wrong. It is actually 25" wide x 26" long including the stringer portion with 20" between the mounting rails, way smaller than I thought it was going to be. With my tool box mounted on it I would have had over 15" hanging off each side. To much non supported area for me. If it had been the 36" then I would only have had 10" on each side that I could live with.
So again it is a buyer beware, TSC did not question the return it just another trip that I made for nothing.
So I'm back to my Curt rack for my toolbox, at least now that toolbox does not bounce up and down like before and that makes me happy.

Sorry I didnt mention this problem earlier. I could of saved you a trip (or two). I had looked at those box mounts at TSC and I knew there was a reason why I did not buy one, but for the life of me I could not remember why....call it old age or whatever. After I read your reason why it didn't work for you then I remembered why it didnt work for me. I even considered trying to make an extension but than gave up on thas idea and went with the aluminum cargo carrier.
