I've been trying to find the min breaking strength of the trailer hitch when used for vehicle recovery and the rear recovery points - anyone seen these? I can't seem to find either with a lot of searching.
I'd like to know if using a hitch receiver recovery point is safer than the built in rear recovery points. Pulling centered is generally good, but I've read some people have questioned the hitch strength. In any case, I'd like to make sure my recovery equipment (17,000 lb MBS ARB snatch strap, and 7/16" soft shackles) has a much lower load rating than the Bronco attachment points so that the strap breaks before I get a metal projectile flying off and hurting someone.
