Question:

Hello I am needing a class 5 hitch that will replace my curt 14082. I want heaviest I can get that has similar dimensions and bolt pattern. My vehicle make will not work because its an 1973 AMG M35A2 deuce and a half. I recently found my hitch does not have the tongue weight.

To upgrade your 2" hitch receiver to a Class 5 I recommend installing the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 on your 1973 AMG M35A2. We don't have any other hitches with the same bolt pattern as the Curt # C14082 you currently have that are also rated as a Class 5.

This Draw-Tite hitch has adjustable brackets and is rated for 16K towing/1.6K tongue weight so it is much more robust than the Curt on your truck.
