Will this hitch work?

I attached a picture that should cover all of the flange dimensions you could want for the Curt multi fit hitch # 13703. You'd need 12 inches of space on the frame for the hitch to fit.

The weight of the hitch is 98 lbs. If you carry a bike rack or cargo carrier you will need a stabilizer strap like part # 18050. If you use the strap this would easily carry a 100 lb carrier and generator as it has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity.
