Question:
Is the part of this hitch that goes into the truck receiver solid steel or tubular?
asked by: Sam
Expert Reply:
The Hitch Extender, # he18, is hollow at both ends so that would be tubular steel. The use of a hitch extender will reduce the capacity of the trailer hitch by 50 percent. If the hitch started with a 350 pounds tongue weight capacity, by using this extension that amount will be reduced to 175 pounds.
