Will the factory hitch work with the Sir Michaels? Hidden behind the liscense plate? Looks great and I am considering doing it for the same reasons. Weight mostly.

 

I love thier roll pans. What a difference on your truck it looks great. LUV THE COLOR

 

i dont htink it will work unless you slide it back maybe, im not sure at all though

 

Ky I'm not sure if the factory hitch will work or not but I bet you can contact them sorry I don't have there number still but customer service is top notch and the same goes for there product Thank's for the compliment's and yea you loose a good bit of weight.

 

The factory hitch will not work at all. The factory hitch also bolts up to the rear rear bumper. You will need to purchase a new hideaway hitch the bolts behind the roll pan. They make various towing rated hitches for this particular application. Oh, you will also need the kit for the license plate that allows you to fold the plate down to access the hitch.

 

Yeah I got to looking and realized there was no way the factory hitch would work. Maybe sometime down the line I will do it but not soon. It does look great but I would have to keep the ability to tow.

 

The only issue is the weight of what you will be towing with the hidden hitch, I wanted to tow a car and trailor and I was having issues finding something that heavy duty but I was told they are available. The best place to go is a trailor company or your local U-haul etc...

 

Nice improvement, looks really good
