WTK/WTB: Class IV Tow Hitch for H2

[03blackH2]

Hey guys anybody know a dealer that sells class IV hitches that fit an H2?

Also which GM frame is like our H2's? Maybe a Silverado 2500 pickup or a Suburban or something like that I could get that would bolt up in the same holes.

I need to locate a Class IV hitch this week Sep 17 - 22 and install next week for a trip last weekend of the month.

Thanks!

you smell sumthin?

The hitch on the H2 is integrated into the frame and is specific only to it. Go look at the back of your phantom H2 and find the square hole and BAM you've got a class IV hitch

I thought that's what you smelled. I was kind of getting the same odor over here too.

Big Z, suck a >>>>

No troll here just a FNG! The "Search" feature didn't yield any results so I had to ask you Pros. Dang I don't think I have ever been called a Troll before on any site.

So granted I did not even think to read a label that might exist on my existing hitch but I did bother to read the factory brochure I snagged at the dealer for an '06. It reads under "weights and capacities":
Payload, Max 2,200 lbs
Trailering, Max 6,700 lbs

*Notes

"Note 5, Trailer tongue weight should be 10-15% of max trailer weight, up to 700lbs. Do not exceed maximum allowable tongue weight for your vehicle."

When I looked up after market Class III hitches for model X,Y,Z trucks they said max tongue weight 500lbs. Then I saw one some where that was 600lbs. Now the Class IV hitch I found said tonbue capacity 1000lbs.

This is why I posted my question in the 1st place. But I am glad we are having this conversation because there are more questions.

What I have is a tongue weight max of 700 lbs according to the Hummer H2 2006 Brochure under the specs section.

What I will have is a tongue load of 850 lbs!!! There is no axle under that baby it is all weight on the tongue! This is a little different then towing another H2 or boat or big ass trailer.

Here are pics of what I am putting on the back of my H2


Here is a pic of the "Troll's Truck". I can go take some in the dark if you want too


Ok so I did go take some in the dark just now before I hit send on this reply. I see why the BS flag got raised on me. I never crawled under there to look at it, I figured it looked like every other hitch I have seen. But still I need to know if this tongue can handle 850lbs instead of 700lbs max like the book says. Where does it say the one on our H2's is a class IV? I hope it is, I am just trying to make sure my load doesn't snap off on the turnpike know what I mean!

Paragon,

None of my smart ass remarks were intended for you sorry if it came across that way.

So I see you wrote it is a Class IV. Would you happen to have any knowledge of how much tongue capacity it can hold other than my little brochure?

And if 700 lbs max is the max, is there a snowballs chance in hell anyone makes a stronger one that will hold more than 700lbs ?

Thanks man
