[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 236454, member: 4251"] your truck should handle the boat w/o issue on the assumption the boat/motor/trailer and gear don't exceed the weight spec'd in the owners manual. A frame hitch would distribute the weight & stress of the load over the entire rear suspension. A frame hitch is usually better, but it is not required depending on the load. Using the bumper to pull a heavy load usually results in a bent/warped bumper, usually when trying to stop suddenly imo. I've seen numerous bumpers pushed in & down from too heavy of a load on the bumper. [/QUOTE]
