This is a great thread on what can happen when the wrong equipment is used, the correct results, but scary to think what would have happened to his hitch if it broke.

Not to hijack, but does anyone know the capacity for the tow hooks that come on the 2015+ 150's
I dont know the capacity, but the 2011s-2014s have those too. Mine broke off in an accident, sheared the front bolt off. Kind of paranoid of these stock tow hooks now.. They are just held on 2 by 2 m20 bolts.
Anyone know of any stronger bolts to put on the oem tow hooks?
Question for folks, I see people recommend a D-Ring or just push the loop into the receiver and use the pin.
the D-Ring makes sense, but is the pin really strong enough to solely support the force of the strap? I feel the added receiver walls would help spread the pins load, making the D-Ring safer.
Like trying to break a pencil with your fingers in the middle versus trying to breaking with your fingers at the ends. Leverage is what I am thinking.
It might be a dumb questions, I am not speaking from experience, and I might be way overthinking this. So thanks in advance!
As long as you dont have a crap reiciever, or pin, the pin will hold no problem.
If you are bending or breaking that............ you are doing some crazy stuff and should have stopped a while ago
