i am very skeptical of comments made by one vendor about another, and especially when looking for a place to lay blame.

sort of like the concern at hensley about the inadequate safety chain extensions?

well replacing the coupler would VOID THE WARRANTY on these trailers, so altering the coupler style is a bad idea...

no hitch is worth cutting up a new trailer, it's hensley's problem, so solve it...

i just measured the receiver boxes on 10 new 4x4 trucks in the dealer lot and they ALL were 22-23 inches high,

which is the pin height for the o.p. tahoe...

so it seem the hitch vendor needs a solution at their product level...

instead of passing it of to the vehicle maker, trailer maker or aftermarket vendors.
