Funny, HF made no mention of that.aua So maybe a plate welded onto both sides to box it in is in order?

Flat plate would be good for the pulling and pushing movement but not for the side to movement

The upper receiver tube is not reinforced.

You do not know how thick the wall is for the vertical tube.

Is the actual receiver tube a tube or is it solid. Due to the leverage it should be a solid shank.

I only use the hitch extender on my tractor around the house to move 105s and 101s. I can flip it upside down or right side up to get it level.

I probably would never tow anything in the small receiver on the road for any reason. Emergencies maybe, like towing 16,000lbs home with my Dodge 1500......

I use the flat plate from Tractor Supply to have vertical adjustment.

Hollow, of course. I could fill it by welding in a plug, but that defeats the "simple" aspect. Thanks goodness for sales and HF coupons - I don't have much in it.

It was in the description.

Two receiver tubes let you tow a trailer and still bring your hitch-mount bike rack!
No description, just a sticker on top with a 400/4000lb limit.
