Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the 16 inch Mounting Bracket Kit for the Draw-Tite Class V Service Body Trailer Hitches. Now, these are universal mounting brackets that'll let you mount the trailer hitch cross tube to the frame of your heavy-duty or commercial vehicle. These brackets are required for installation of either the Draw-Tite Class V Service Body Hitch part number 41990 or part number 41991, both of those we do sell separately on our website. And just to show you what they look like, there's an insert, showed you the cross tube with the hitch receiver in the middle. Now, I mentioned two part numbers and the difference in those two part numbers is the length, one is 44 inches long, the other is 66 inches long, and as I mentioned, we do carry both of those hitches on our website.
Now, these mounting brackets here, to install them to the vehicle, they are a weld-on or bolt-on installation, and again, just to show you in the insert, there's the cross tube I showed you with these brackets installed, just to show you how they look like when they're ready to install. Basically, the bracket down here has a square cutout that'll slide onto the each end of the hitch cross tube, and then you adjust it along the cross tube to fit the frame width that's needed for your application, and then you weld the mounting bracket to the cross tube, and then after the brackets are welded on, then you can either bolt on with the holes here or weld on these brackets and cross tube to your vehicle's frame. Now, once they are installed, the center of the hitch receiver opening for your hitch will be about 16 inches from the top of the vehicle's frame rail to basically the center of the hitch receiver opening. So basically, what you're doing is this right here will be lined up with the top of the vehicle's frame rail and your tube will be inserted here, so when they say you get a 16 inch drop, I just wanted to show you, we're gonna measure, so if we go from the center of that opening to the very top the bracket right up here, you can see there's your 16 inch drop that you'll be gaining. Now, these do have a nice black powder coat finish to them over an E-coat base to resist corrosion.
Few measurements on the whole bracket itself, the width of the bracket, from this end to this end, is gonna be right at nine inches wide, the overall height from the very bottom of the bracket to the very top of the bracket is gonna be right at 18 1/4 inches tall. But that should do it for the review on the 16 inch Mounting Bracket Kit for the Draw-Tite Class V Service Body Trailer Hitches..
Excellent heavy duty product. As promised and delivered right to the door in a verry short time. Have had lots of product shipped from U.S. but this was the fastest and really liked the paitence the staff had in helping me find the product I needed for my older motorhome. Will be ordering much more from this supplier.
Sold motorhome shortly after purchase. Never installed.
These worked well for my application
Easy to use and works great.
1954 3100 Chevrolet. Ya just aren't going to get a hitch at Walmart for this truck. This is an awesome solution! Ya have to be able to weld but the end result is great! Thanks George!
As described excellent quality
Extremely fast delivery, was exactly what I needed.
