I read the reviews where customers commented on receiving trailer hitches where the paint was damaged during shipping and parts were lost. Not only was the hitch undamaged and all the parts there but the shipping box was in perfect condition, no clue how that was accomplished.I have a 2014 Ford E350 cargo van and hitch was a perfect fit. Due to its weight the hitch will need two people to install. I had some storage boxes that with the hitch on top were close enough to the van's frame height that I was able to accomplish the installation by myself. It came with basic instructions but youtube videos of installations are available if you search.

Hitch is super well made. But It did not fit my 1978 GMC 2500 4X4 as the fitment guide said it would. I did not get to try it on the truck in time and missed the return window. My own fault. I now have a 400.00 plus hitch sitting in my shop.

Well worth it, its well built and fit good. Boxing is terrible but hitch is worth it.

No real problems getting it mounted to my 2500HD truck frame. Three minor details keep it from getting 5 stars. The hardware was shipped in a plastic bag, loosely taped to the hitch. As the hitch is not boxed for shipping, the hardware should be shipped separately, in a box, to prevent loss. 2nd point, there is no attachment accommodation for the 7 way trailer power connector; no holes, no plate, not even a flat spot as the face of the hitch is concave. The only options are to drill the hitch (not a great idea or easy) for bolts or fabricate and weld the 7 way connector bracket to the hitch. Third point, the hitch does not mount to the bottom of the bumper the same as the oem hitch. I guess one could also weld a spacer plate to the top of the receiver and drill it so that bolts could be installed into the bumper.

that we often just ignore them. But this is a product worthy of review! First, this is a large, awkward product to ship, but it came on time and very well packaged, with no damage. All of the welds looked well done, and the hitch is remarkably sturdy. The powder coated finish seemed very durable. I was expecting something of similar quality as the OEM GM product, but this one seemed far superior. There were a couple of contact points for fasteners that were different than the original, but if a bit of time is taken to understand the process, installation was straightforward and (almost!) simple. With slightly slotted holes for the fasteners, it was very easy to line up all the bolt holes for easy installation. I'm very glad to have installed this on my 2007 Chevy 2500HD long bed. Use Amazon fitment guide to be sure it fits your truck.

Way more hitch here than the stock junk. This is the hitch that should have been on truck from factory. Only issue I had was having to relocate the 7 way trailer wiring connector. Would be nice if a bracket was included.

Installed on a 82 Chevy K20 3/4 Ton Long BedFit:This hitch is a great fit for 80s Chevys with the factory step bumper. There are almost no good pictures of this hitch mounted to a truck anywhere on the internet! Hopefully my pictures show how good it fits. It follows the angles of the bumper perfectly, not much of the actual receiver hangs below the bumper. It looks very factory which is what I was hoping for.Quality:As another reviewer said this thing is beyond beefy, 73lbs according to the manufacture! I have no doubts in the capacity of this hitch, my 3/4 Ton will just about be at its limit before this hitch is. Good paint, solid thick metal and good welds. Good hardware included as well.Install:Install for me was just a little different than most would be. I have an aftermarket shackle flip installed, so it forces the hitch to sit maybe 1/4-1/2" farther back than with a factory shackle hanger. The instructions say to align it with the rear most holes in the frame, which it will line up with perfectly if you don't have a flip kit. If anyone else is installing this with a flip kit, it clears everything with a wide margin, zero worries or modifications needed besides moving rearward. Other than the rear two factory holes no other holes lined up. I centered the hitch side to side and ensured the receiver was nicely centered in the bumper. Clamped it in place and marked all the holes by using the largest bit I had centered in the hole and just spinning it with the drill for a second, leaving a divot. I took the hitch down and drilled a pilot hole at each spot. The instructions recommend working up to a 9/16" drill bit which is huge. I ended up using a step bit with the strongest corded drill I had and a floor jack to apply steady upwards pressure. The frames on these trucks are some crazy tough metal to drill (use lots and lots of oil on the drill bits!!). Mounted hitch, ensured it was still centered, used the included blocks and hardware, and torqued to spec. Installed and ready to go!I highly recommend this hitch if you are looking for the beefiest hitch you can find for many 80s GM trucks. I cant see this ever letting me down.

Pros: constructed of heavy gauge steel, solidly weldedCons: absolutely does not fit as intended, paint was beaten off in multiple places due to almost complete lack of any kind of packaging, arrived with the sides bent inward, installation hardware missing, standard hitch pin could not be inserted in hitch pin holeI'm not sure if it was welded incorrectly, drilled incorrectly, or Draw Tite's measurements are simply wrong, but the piece that attaches to the cross member of the truck was in the way of installation. With thousands of pounds of force (a 3 ton jack could not do it, but a 5 ton did), it can be deflected enough to get the receiver in position on the frame, but then you have the problem of the bolt holes not lining up. The two holes in the back of the cross member can be lined up with the two on the brace, and the two holes in the frame requiring the supposed to be included hardware do align enough to get a bolt through. The other four holes that reuse the cross member bolts were off by at least 3/8ths of an inch.If a person were inclined and adequately equiped to cut off the cross member brace, grind it down, and reweld it correctly, and machine out the attachment holes and hitch pin hole, and repaint it (and purchase the installation hardware), it would probably be a very solid receiver. Otherwise, don't waste seven hours of your life like I did.

Item received on first day of delivery range. As mentioned in other reviews, some of the powder coating was chipped off in transit - be prepared to do touch ups tp prevent rust down the road. Perfect fit for the van.
