    nice driveway, looks like it should be in a house. Did they have to notch the rear difuser for the hitch or does it sit below it?

    Thumbs up

    Awesome & cool setup!!!!

    Please post close up pics of your hitch install...... Where did you get your hitch?

    I don't think you've got quite 1800lbs on that load though... looks somewhere like 500lbs

    The Holden Hitch is rated to 1600kg (3500lbs) in standard form and can be upgraded to 2100kg ( 4700lbs) with an optional load equilizer attachment. The attachment replaces the usual towball and includes arms which extend back to the trailer A frame.

    The same mainframe is used for both 1600 and 2100kg versions.










    To achieve the 2100 kg rating you need to add the Equilizer Attachment to the tongue and onto the trailer A frame.
