Headed out for vacation tomorrow and this year we're hitting the roads with an extra dog, which means less luggage in the car and more on the hitch tray.
I'm always nervous loading up the hitch tray... especially the way the LR hitch just kind of hangs off the body with that pin mechanism.
So, the tongue weight stamped on my LR4 hitch receiver says 770lbs.
My hitch tray is a well built UWS aluminum model with a max load of 500lbs.
I realize I'm within the tongue weight, but would you be comfortable hanging 500 lbs. off that receiver?
Thanks for any feedback. It's too late to buy new hardware/trays, so I'm making the most of what I have. Perhaps a trailer is in my future.
