OYO thanks for posting. I assume the metal plate is the jack tube plate? If so, tongue weight will be a little less.

So curious. Assuming you are still towing with the GMC half ton, why the need for a WD hitch at all? It should easily be able to handle the A192HW ~400lb tongue weight.

One of the main reasons I...

While reading voltage alone may certainly meet the...

My Premier is tan. The Premier's are simply a lineup name for a specific set of standard items (as outlined in the brochure).

To be fair, this was a loaded Denali 4x4 long bed, so worst case payload scenario. Don't forget there are some half tons out there with the same payload rating, so for a mid size it's not all that...

Okay agreed. I only pointed it out as there are very few of us here towing with 3/4+ton Diesels (with 1000lb dead weight hitches). Another 150+ lbs tongue weight won't hurt for sure.
