We've been renting 3/4 ton F250 & RAM 2500 pick-ups from Enterprise Commercial Rentals to tow our
1960 Avion T20 (which at about 3000# wet & loaded is "TV overkill"), as we decided on what TV we wanted, & are now searching for our our mid-size SUV V8 TV (Cayenne S or maybe equiv. Toyota/Lexus).
Some have had the 2.5" receivers with the sleeve to mount our 2" stinger for our Hensley Cub, with no problems. Although, I wouldn't see any reason get a 2.5" on a TV, unless you need it for the trailer size or load.
In most cases the issue with some truck mfgr., OEM & aftermarket 2" hitches & their attachment to TVs, is that they're not properly braced &/or attached to the TV frame/unibody to properly transfer the weight forward from a WD hitch, or have some weak weld point - any of which can be remedied by a good welder/shop.
I've seen many topics on here about how to reinforce &/or extend various of the OE/other hitches, including the GM/Chevy 2" noted above. Maybe do a search for that subject.
Cheers!
Tom
