I was super disappointed on this one, and we tried to place it onto the hitch yesterday, and it's no where long enough to use on a standard hitch. I finally got around to using it, so I probably can't even get my money back at this point. It's entirely way too short to use. Once it goes over the hitch, there is no more thread room left over for the plate and b=nits and washers. It's just a big waste of money and time, in my opinion!
