it works very well and does what the product says. one minor thing that happend when we installed the hitch is that we had to use only 3 holes on each side this was for a 2001 dodge dakota. only had to drill 2 holes on each side. the book was also way off on install time. it only took 1/2 hour to do the job. the books says 1 hr. the total cost of hitch and labor was 1/2 for the cost if I would have bought it localy. what a savings.

Bought this thinking it would fit on a 1992 Toyota Hi-Lux pick-up. The 3-pc design is nice in that it can adjust a bit. And the shipping was free from Amazon. Well, it sort of fits. The spec says it fits, but actually, if I check the manufacturer's list, it say it fits the extend 8ft hi-lux P/U bed, not the standard bed. And the reason it doesn't fit is because underneath, Toyota decided to punch out big holes where the mounting nuts would have been present on the chassis to which the rear-bumper is mounted.My solution was to buy some 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch x 1/8th inch angle-iron and cut two pieces about 9 inches long, then sand, prime and paint them. These pieces become chassis extensions and re-inforcements that allow the rack to bolt to the same structure as the OEM bumper. The way I create the mounts is to measured and drilled 3 slightly larger than 1/2 inch holes for the mounting bolts in each piece and using a few extra fender washers. I'm able to use the angle iron as a bracket above the same chassis where the big holes were punched.Rack now fits my standard 1992 P/U just fine and it has about 1/2 inch clearance underneath the OEM rear bumper, and provides clearance to lower the spare tire as well.There is one issue in that the 3-pc design allows the heavy center piece to shift and vibrate, despite torquing down the bolts on the center piece. My solution was to drill out and tap threaded holes in each side bracket where the middle piece slides over and had already a pre-made hole for a secondary pass-thru anchor bolt. I used two 3/8th inch bolts and some lock washers and then directly secured middle piece to each side bracket piece. Now the hitch is really stiff and works well with no shaking, vibrations, etc.I don't tow anything heavy. Mainly, I use this to hold a 2 inch square tube bike rack on the back, which now works wonderfully.It was a small hassle though, but the price was right.

I recieved this item as i have recieved all i have purchased from amazon, fast and without damage. I again was suprised to see how easily I was able to attach the hitch, with the simple tools around the garage.
