Lil Red - I don't have the old hitch. I threw it out mainly because it couldn't be reused. - (plus - I was pissed)

My '03 with a V6 does fine with about 3800lbs, and I do have the 2" receiver... Pulled about 6000 lbs with it a few times for short distances, and it was struggling a bit...
ChrisT, the difference is that the '07 receiver is rated as a Class III/IV. Your '03 does NOT have a class IV rating at all. Class IV gets into weight distributing which your '03 (or any other gen1 ) is not rated for.
Does any other manufacturer put a class II hitch on as original equipment?
The only one that comes immediately to mind is the Chevy Trailblazer.
