Question:
For my 2002 Chevy Tahoe, what is the most robust hitch you recommend? I’m unsure whether square or round tubing is preferable. Thanks! Dale

Hello Dale, thanks for reaching out. The best/most robust hitch for your 2002 Chevy Tahoe is the Curt Class 4 Hitch # 14080. It has a 10,000 lb towing capacity and a 1,000 lb towing capacity, which is higher than any other hitch made for your vehicle. It has a square tube design, but honestly the square or round tube does not make a huge difference in functionality. Although I will say most heavy-duty hitches are square tube.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Ok and what weight distribution / sway bar setup do you recommend for my vehicle? I’m wondering if the rigid style is better or the chain style. Also do you recommend one or two (or none?) anti-sway control devices?
