Climing long steep grades up into the mountains is SLOW with six people and one dog in the bus. Probably pulling 1000 lbs in the trailer with all the junk we take. Built my own hitch out of 2" square tubing, .25" thick, that sits behind the stock bumper with only the reciever sticking out the rear. John
