Re: New replica tow hooks!

More ductile iron usages ---- pintle ??? 9000 lb tongue weight rating 2" shank 45000 trailer weight. Why is this not forged heat treated steel?

Not trying to sell the ebay hooks - just wanting to know how tough they are. If they are what they say they are -- may be tougher than we think.


I say get the seller to test them with certified results. Can you find testing results from GM hooks?
