[QUOTE="Norske, post: 152582, member: 409"] Many years ago, I witnessed a hitch receiver get torn out from under a well used Jeep Cherokee when an impatient boater attempted to yank his boat & trailer over a submerged lip at the bottom of a concrete boat ramp. I learned not to trust unibody vehicles for serious trailering. Even if the hitch is attached to a subframe, that subframe is bolted to sheet metal. Bolt holes in sheet metal become elongated with age/use and things can fall off. Many unibody SUV manufacturers rate their vehicles to tow as much as 5000#, but they likely consider a vehicle's life to be as long as that maker's bumper-to-bumper warrantee. We bought a Honda Pilot last spring. I also bought a Curt receiver for it. The Pilot will never tow my old boat the 200 miles to Devils Lake, I have ladder framed pickups for that. [/QUOTE]
