Rust issues?

Then I wouldn't install that hitch lol. There is no grinding necessary.

Moral of this story: buy the Draw Tite hitch.

+1 on the Draw-Tite. I have it and have definitely put it through the paces on long distance tows without a single problem. I even tested it briefly with 300+ pounds which is well over the max tongue weight just to see and it didn't budge.
