    D44 rear is 250lbs and can be manipulated farly easily (smartly). The front is over 300lbs and and takes some testicular spring to work with.

      The weight is not the only problem they want to spin around because of the pumkin. I always have used a cherry picker.

        Yep, this. I've heaved a few fully loaded fronts into the back of a lifted truck and it ain't fun. The rear is a little more manageable.

              I love how arguements end as soon as Ristow comments. Ristow is right...again.

                Yeah...there should be a "quick disconnect" Class C hitch. I only went boulder climbing once with my hitch on, and never again.

                    That fatazz hitch is the only reason there was an aluminum bumper on it for so many years.

                      That's exactly why I have a hitch on mine. I'd rather drag the hitch than scrape up the bumper.

                      And it lets me know when I'm about to scrape off the nerf strips, too!

                        Yeah, that's not a hitch, its a rub strip.
