Im lookin for a hitch that will fit behind a roll pan but still allow me to keep the spare tire and be rated to carry about 8000pounds. So far I havent found anything like what Im looking for. Anybody got any suggestions or have one?

 

All the ones I have looked at are rated alot less. Unfortunately, the way it mounts probably prevents it from having a good weight rating. I know sir micheals has a hitch, but it is rated lower.

If you find one, let me know. I have been keeping my eye out to no avail.

 

I need something atleast 7000#s cause Im going to be towing a 26foot enclosed trailer with 3 1000# 4wheelers(they are big heavy ****'s) with all the mandatory camping equipment and generators and a couple of dirt bikes. I know what you mean OCBC they are all freakin wimpy tow ratings. I realy want a roll pan for the weight savings and looks but the tow hitch cant go and it would look goofy with a RP.

 

um i dont know the ratings but im fabricating my own hidden hitch in welding class. if you need one im sure i can build you one for cheaper then sir micheals and stuff.

 

Thanks for the offer Im going to do some more snooping around and see if I can find out. No offense but I would rather go with a name brand manufacturer on this one if at all possible Ill have about 35,000 dollars worth of **** behind my truck.

 

I use to have a sir michaels hidden hitch towed a 26 foot ski boat to arkansas and back no problems. They are good desgins you will have to get a smaller spare or just throw your fullsize in the bed.

 

Dont they make a spare tire relocator or something? I seem to remember seeing one or I can figure something out to relocate it.

 

boats are about 1/2 the weight of a camper trailer loaded down with toys. i pull about 7500lbs when we head out.

 

i think some relocator kits move it more towards the front of the truck, i may be wrong though...

 

yeah they do its just a problem finding a hidden hitch that can actually tow a REAL trailer.
