Towing Package Photos???

It attaches to a cross member that is welded to the same frame that a Class III receiver will bolt to. The bolts that hold the factory receiver hold tongue weight in shear, tow weight is held in tension on the cross member. After market hitches hold tongue weight in tension and tow weight in shear. I might argue that the factory hitch set up is actually superior.

There was a larger discussion about the statics of these setups on the other recent thread about this topic if you want to look into it further, including how aftermarket Class IV recievers mount.
