Hi Wes; the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH34FR has an alloy construction. It doesn't have individual components made of different metals, they're all the alloy. Some EcoHitch models have a stainless receiver, that is the only exception and doesn't apply to this particular hitch.

I wouldn't be concerned about the strength. These hitches are well built and just as capable, or more capable, than others. As long as you aren't exceeding the capacity of the hitch or you're vehicle you won't have a problem.

What will you be using the hitch for?
