Not to question your experience , or TorkLift integrity , but I could not find any reference to DOT approval on their website . Nor have I seen Dot approval for any other tow hitch brand. If you have more information please share , thanks .

Ok folks I did not want to start a SAFETY discussion. I've had this Reese Tow Beast Class V hitch for many years (since 2005), used hitch extensions on it, that's part of the design of the thing, and am aware of the drawbacks and the advantages.
My question is: has anybody used an extension a few inches longer than necessary to provide clearance for the TC door?
Thanks again.

When did they stop teaching geometry in school? Even the hitch extension above is doubled up with chains for a trailer with three inflatable boats... 1000 lbs or less. Just because you can buy something it does not mean it's safe to use.
