[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4336525, member: 15054"] Maybe you got a standard hitch and not some upgraded deal to match or exceed the sticker on the vehicle. 340 lbs of tongue weight seems pretty low. Basically 1 big ol fat dude. I never bought a hitch or had one installed but 90% of my vehicles do have a hitch that I made and they are welded and bolted to the frame. I would get under there and make sure there are plenty of good fasteners holding that on. And make sure they are tight. I never trust anything someone else put together. If you got this from the dealer I would call them and ask what the deal is on the low rated hitch. Ask them who is at fault if something goes bad wrong with that under rated hitch if it fails.
