I need and will be putting a hitch rack on my TT, it is a 2017 new, but I have already had the rack mounted and with me ( 205 lb ) standing on it and jumping it does flex the thin bumper tubing, so tonight I will be cutting it off and welding an 8 ft 1/4 in wall tubing bumper on with some gussets, I trust my welds more than a factory job anyway, my frame is heavy tubing that extends to the bumper so no worries there.
I would have never though about giving it a good inspection without all this talk of them beeing weak.
so thanks for that.
then I will weld a plate on and on that weld on a 2 inch reciever, our bikes will be safe on that I would think.
I will weld the original bumper under the new one for the poop tube storage.
I also checked the tires and axle raiting with the max GVW of the trailer.
trailer says 7540 max, 5170 dry, I have 3500 lb axles and the tires are 1,540 each x 4 so I will upgrade tires when I replace them.
