I have had several Yukons and pull a 38 Cigarette with it with no problem. The factory hitch is fine. The only thing you may want to do is spot weld the bolt heads at the frame.

your a wise man 'Bird.

invest in a drawbar and ball as described above and be done with it. Have no question that all those components are up to the task.

I forgot to mention I also use a 20K rated loop handle impliment pin for the drawbar, and a snap-over ring pin to keep it there.

some farm thinking stays with you forever...mechanical safety overkill.

I swear bored members (regulars) sign up with aliases and come in here just looking for fun.

There's no other rational explanation...
