8’ Bed Vehicle
6-1/2’ Bed Vehicle – Forward attachment holes need to be drilled.
1. Raise hitch into position and install fasteners as shown above.
Note: On 6-1/2’ bed vehicles drill a 1/2” hole for the forward fasteners.
Note: check hitch frequently, making sure all fasteners and ball are properly tightened. If hitch is removed, plug all holes in trunk pan or other body panels to
prevent entry of water and exhaust fumes. A hitch or ball which has been damaged should be removed and replaced. Observe safety precautions when working
beneath a vehicle and wear eye protection. Do not cut access or attachment holes with a torch.
