Yeah, does this hitch just fail the letter of the law?

...because IMHO it's not a trick hitch and doesn't do anything a "normal" reese-style hitch doesn't also do.

A technicality?



on edit: I went and read the rules and yes that hitch would be illegal. Was this added to keep people from going towards trick hitches, i.e. getting carried away into gray areas?

When you state "Reese style",that implies a few things. Generally, a tube type hitch that hangs underneath the frame, behind the axle, with a slide in.


You are allowed to reinforce to the frame, but not down to the axle.

The rule was clarified, (Should not have had to) and as every rule that gets created from a festrering sore spot,or clarified, it has a name. " Mikeys hitch rule."LOL
 
Any comments on this one?

Hitch debate is a sore subject around missouri also. I see the bar and understand the leverage advantage if it was pulling further up. A lot can be gained from a "trick hitch", it's just trying to get by with the most people will let you not harm in that, but anyways....If the factory reese is attached solid at the rear, that wouldn't really gain anything correct? It would be pulling off the rear like factory and the only time it would pull from farther up would be if the factory hitch moves or breaks right? I don't see the advantage am i correct in my thinking?
