Does anyone know what weight this hitch really is? The spec above says 8 ounces, shipping weight is 73 lbs? Thank you!

73lbs (not that I weighed it), it is pretty heavy and not easy to install alone. 8 ounces is half a lb, description must be way off.

There is no weigh rating on this hitch as you would find on an automotive type hitch. I have these on a Honda Rincon, Suzuki Eiger, and a Honda TRX300EX. I have never had an issue with towing a fully loaded garden trailer, or another ATV. I would expect that the hitch would handle anything up to the towing capacity of your ATV/UTV (800-1500 pounds). This is for what it is designed.

Honestly I'm not sure, but this is not a good hitch. It is very sloppy and I wish I would have just stepped up to a better quality. I bought a new truck and traded off my old hitch with the old truck. Big mistake. The hitch is constantly banging around and is actually a little scary to pull with. Will be getting different one when I can afford it.

I don't know the specific trailer load rating, but this thing is stout. It comes with 4 brackets to attach it to the frame in addition to where it bolts directly, I think 12 bolts holding it to the frame all told. It has more contact points than any trailer hitch I've seen.

the class of the hitch is more specific to the weight carrying capacity. This rack is very light and is not a concern for weight. The factor to be aware of is the receiver size. The receiver is the square hole slot on your hitch that the rack slides into. This rack comes by default to fit into a 2" receiver slot and has an adapter to also make it fit into a 1.5" receiver slot.

I BELIEVE IT IS A CLASS II HITCH (2" RECEIVER).Make sure the hitch is rated for the amount of VERTICAL weight needed!

8&3/4 but can be used either facing up or down plus the increment holes. The overall length of the shaft (hitch insertion bar) is 12". Overall weight of the entire assembly is about 81lbs. It's a stud. Get it from amazon whse and used if possible. My box was opened so they called it used

I agree with the other estimated weights (30-40 lbs) It was easy to install and works GREAT! I highly recommend the hitch!

The hitch and parts ships in a single box that measures about 12" D x 60" L x 36" W. The box is heavy - maybe 50 pounds.

I'm not certain how much it weighs. It's heavy and unwieldy due to the trailer hitch tongue. I'm totally satisfied with the carrier. I generally slide it over to the car when I am going to use it. If you need exact weight+ I would contact manufacturer.

Shipping weight is stated in the description: 82 lbs. Shipping materials weigh roughly 5 lbs. as I remember.

yes, i think it shipped at about 28 lbs, as a cautionary note the picture shown is not the item associated with that part number. it is for a regular cab, see DZ372521 for the actual part

All models are 10,000 pound GTWR and a 1500 pound tongue weight limit. Quite substantial!A great hitch, very nice looking and super functional. I get quite a few envious comments on it, worth the money.

I'm not exactly sure but I think it weighs about 35-40 lbs. It can be hitched up with one person. I'm not a big person, 5'6" and 145lbs...

I think the description is relating to a receiver hitch set up and not this sway control. As already stated this is a friction device and not a load bearing one. The 3500 and 350 weights listed are for a Class 2 hitch/receiver.
