⚠️ Safe Hitching Practices for Heavy Loads

While the 2.5″ receiver hitch is rated for 24,000 lbs., operating near capacity requires:

• Experienced drivers

• Cautious, informed towing habits

Bradford Built encourages smart towing practices to keep you and your equipment safe.

❗ Note: Older beds with 2″ receiver hitches are not rated for 24,000 lbs.

🏗️ Hitch Strutting for Maximum Towing Capacity

To tow safely at full capacity:

• Use pre-cut holes in the upright tubes, or weld directly to the bumper

This reinforcement ensures stability under heavy loads and increases hitch durability.
