Origianlly I put it on to assist as a rear crash device. I thought, let someone rear end the pintle hook, not my bumper. It is just at the right height to rip out the front end of a car. Grill, condenser, radiator, etc. I think though they will still hit my bumper.
Oh well, I don't think it will hurt quite as bad, as if I didn't have anything.

The trailer was purely secondary. I didn't even think about it, until I had put the hitch on. Then I thought, wouldn't that be neat.
Then I bought one.
