We have one as well on our 2004 Impala and have had no problems hauling a 4x6 trailer with an atv on it. It doublesfor abike rack hitch as well if you get a removable ball mount, but the removable ballmounts can be very noisy (clanging)and take some getting used to when driving (the mount slides out of the hitch and therefore will have to have some loseness). Sorry, no picture as I would have to take one, but I can tell you that it extends out 6 inches from the bumper on our car. We had it boltedto the frame from a dealer.

Hey StickerSchock!!!

I had the same clanging problem. I wrapped the "male end" of the hitch ONCE in electrical tape. It took up the slack and cushioned the noise. It wore out after a little while but take old stuff off and do it over. The reason I said wrap it once is because if you do too much you can't get it into reciever. And if you do and it heats up, forget trying to get it out.

Just a quick fix. Lemme know if you come up with a better fix.
