Close Tongue Weight (TW) Tongue Weight (TW) is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler.  In most cases, it is about 10 to 15 percent of the GTW.  The tongue weight should also be taken into consideration when choosing a bike rack or cargo carrier.  Tongue Weight up to 300 lbs. can be measure on a household scale by resting the trailer coupler on the scale and placing the scale on a box so that the coupler is at its normal towing height.  The trailer must be fully loaded and level. For heavier tongue weights, place a household scale and a brick that's as thick as the scale three feet apart.  Set a length of pipe on each and rest a beam across the pipes.  Re-zero the scale to correct for the weight of the beam and pipe.  Securely block the trailer wheels.  Rest the trailer jack on the beam, one foot from the brick and two feet from the scale. To obtain the TW, multiply the scale reading by three.  For greater tongue weights, place the scale and brick four feet apart, rest the jack on the beam three feet from the scale and multiply the scale reading by four. To determine the tongue weight for cargo carriers and bike racks, add  the weights of all the items or bikes plus the weight of the carrier itself.

Me and my buddy took maybe 30-40 minutes. We took out time. I only needed him to hold it up while I started the bolts. The fishing of the bolts was much simpler than I thought, this was the part I dreaded, and where we took our time. The fish wire was perfect, with a threaded end to hold the bolt. Reliability Performance Ease Of Use Installation Cost-Benefit Solid Product, Great Service Randy4JC from Johnstown,PA A good solid hitch made in the USA.Easy installation. The service was excellent! Thank you so much! Reliability Performance Ease Of Use Installation Cost-Benefit Great hitch, long install time Dave from Denton, TX The hitch is very hidden and looks like it will perform for years to come. The installation, however, took much longer than the 50 minutes advertised. It took me 4 hours. Most difficult part was getting the hitch in place and using the self-threading bolts. But, I was able to get it all done with simple garage tools. Oh, I didn't have a helper so this was a one-man install...perhaps why it took so long! Reliability Performance Ease Of Use Installation Cost-Benefit Great price, tough installatio Brian W from Wauwatosa, WI This is a great price for an entry level hitch. Everything is perfect, except that the installation was difficult. However, that was mostly due to the nature of the car and not the hitch. If you're going to install this, be sure to use an impact wrench on the passenger side. That's the only way those bolts can be properly attached with minimal use of profanity Custom fit for your vehicle You might also be interested in these other custom fit accessories for your vehicle: Hitch Brake Controller Floor Liners Tire Chains Side Window Vents Trim Kits Roof Rack
