    Hitch receiver

    Just traded trucks. My new one has a class V receiver. Would ya'll just use the adapter that came with truck or buy the 2 1/2" hitch?

    When I used the adapter, it always clanked and clacked. Kinda annoying.

    Get a new hitch. I initially used the adapter but then gave the hitch to my son and bought the larger size. I liked it much better, took out the play between the receiver, adapter, and the hitch.

    Buy the 2-1/2 hitch. Then get a 2” ball with a 1-1/4 shank. Curt makes one rated at 10,000lbs.
