What gauge metal are you using for the hitch and what gauge metal are you using for the platform?

as long as your hitch is rated to carry 6500 pounds you should be good that's all you got to worry about

Easy way would be to measure it if you aren't familiar with either receiver. https://www.etrailer.com/faq-hitch-size.aspx

Im with Kevin and Dave, don't use anything but estwing. Solid metal allows you to do a lot with it and to it without worrying about it breaking.

The black metal in the middle of the hitch is 5 inches wide, the narrowest configuration would be slightly wided based on the size of your bolts.

Hi Sandy... Hmmm, I really can't say. I chose it because it said to work on the Element with a "receiver hitch." I assume you have that hitch, as well, but that won't ensure that it will be a proper fit for you vehicles. I will mention that this hitch is kind of heavy, so you gotta be somewhat strong to insert it in the receiver with ease. I have seen that there are lighter/smaller ones. Also, when I searched your vehicle(s) on Amazon, and just plain Google with the words "bike rack for," all kinds of things came up. I count on reviews to confirm quality and fit for things like this.

I don't know the metal gauge.My was used last weekend as the first time, and it is working fantastic. Outside was 32 and inside was 80 in less than 15 minutes.Hope that help. Yes I recommended

I think my earlier attempt to answer got deleted. These rails should be fine with any standard 16K hitch. Put the hitch base in the slots on the rails before you tighten the bolts that connect your rails to the underbed part of the hitch. That will make the hitch fit better.

I used them for my reese 20k hitch that I installed in my 05 f150. The only problem I had was amazon said the rail kit fit my truck but when I got to looking at the install instructions the instructions said I needed special brackets which were a extra 100 bucks. I used the ones that came with the kit and just had the brackets welded to the frame. I know a 20k pound hitch is over kill in a f150 but I took it out of my f350 and my fifth wheel only weighs 9000lbs loaded. Good luck

12 & 10 gauge for the brakes. You should be happy with this cable. Just a FYI, I mounted a 4x4 plastic electrical box with gasket & screw on cover, on the front of the trailer and made all the connections in this water tight box. Put grease inside each wire connector before screwing the wires on. Takes a little more time however it's been years with no electrical problems.

any stainless steel would work... the 18/8 listed in the description refers to the gauge of metal, just search for "stainless steel sheet metal" and you should find something. just remember that you'll need at least 2 holes in it.... for mounting

Take the bolts and nuts to any ACE or True Value Hardware stores. The folks there should be able to find equivalent sizes (if not identical threading) to replace the stock hardware with longer versions. Go with stainless steel if you can find it -- the few bucks extra will be worth it once you see how quick regular steel hardware can rust (and forced to replace it over and over). Cheers and all the best, -Rob

Slide the U shaped metal piece into the neck of the carrier (the part that will go into your hitch receiver). Line up the holes with the holes in the neck. Note which side the metal block with the threads is on. Now, slide the neck of the carrier into the hitch receiver, trying your hardest not to move the metal piece inside. Once all the holes are lined up, put the threaded pin through the hole from the side where the threaded metal block is. Tighten it down with a wrench. Place the metal sleeve through the hole on the other side, and over the threaded bolt. Put the lynch pin in the hole of the threaded pin. Done. I know it's clear as mud, if you can't figure it out let me know and I'll make a video for you.

I ordered my hitch without rails because I already had Reese Rails mounted. Perfect fit ! You can buy rails and mounting kits separately. These hitches work with standard rail kits. Keep shopping.

I have a class 3 hitch on a jeep cherokee pretty heavy duty and the platform itself is 5/16 possibly 1/4 inch thick. It doesn't feel thin or cheap.

Standard 1.5" center to center spacing. Used on almost all weight distribution hitches.
