Cruisers and Art!
Done lots of reading and it seems people tow with the factory in-bumper hitch. I ordered an insert from Lexus and one of the bolts stripped out, the threads literally stripped off without much torque. Spoke with Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters and he said Aussies use the in-bumper hitch, but US DOT frowns on them. I'm nervous to pull with this, I have a 3,400lb travel trailer. I could tap the offending hole and rethread for a bigger bolt, but don't think I'm comfortable putting trailer weight on this hitch now.
One option is to weld the insert into the rear frame. Would that be strong enough or is it better to just get the under-frame mounted hitch?
