5 TON PINTLE HOOK
Saw this cheap at harbor freight,it says mounts to bumper. 
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=95408
Do you think the H3 bumper is strong enough to bolt this to?
I have no trailer hitch.
Would I be able to use this if bolted to the bumper.
Would it work for a motorcycle trailer or small camper ?
I would like to take a small camper out on the beach ,and I heard these work well for off roading.
Thoughts   or

Re: 5 TON PINTLE HOOK
I have seen the ones that plug into a receiver. They work great off road dealing with articulation differences between rig and trailer. My uncle has one that he tows jet skis to the river. We will womp the truck back into secluded beaches and launch the skis from where ever we want. My other buddy has an old cj and tows an off road trailer with tent and all and made through the rubicon with it, so definately stout and hold up well. As far as an H3 towing something off road, maybe a tent trailer max or single cycle trailer.

Re: 5 TON PINTLE HOOK
I have a pintle hook like that that is bolted to a 2" receiver. They also have one that swivels for rough ground.
I would recomend getting a trailer hitch with a receiver and go from there.
The bumper is just sheet metal.

Re: 5 TON PINTLE HOOK
I agree with other, DO NOT fasten that to the bumper, and then a trailer to the hook. If you do, your Hummer will be lighter.
