hitch question
I am planning on purchasing a used tow vehicle. In your opinion, is an after-market hitch install just as good/safe as a factory installed hitch? Thanks much!

I'm not a Ford engineer, and I don't play one on tv, but when I replaced my OEM hitch receiver with a DrawTite unit, the difference was night and day. Better design, perfect fit, very strong. The factory hitch used to wind up when I snapped up the bars, over 1/8", but the DrawTite doesn't measureably move. You'd need a dial indicator to see any movement. I would trust Reese, and I presume the rest are tested and safe also.
