I'll certainly agree on the Receiver hitch!
Those chrome step bumpers are only held on the truck with 4 little bolts, and aren't approved for anything heavier than a 12' aluminum boat, or a log splitter!
Anything heavier than that will be decidedly unsafe on the step bumper!!
A pair of steel hooks welded to the frame under the ends will be safe! But you should get a receiver hitch! That's the one that takes a square piece of steel stock, drilled thru in 2 places, one for the ball, and one for the steel pin and clip that hold the steel shank into the hitch receiver! This receiver hitch should be welded to the frame, although i had one bolted on and it never came loose! And, i towed a 20 ft. travel trailer all over for years, and never had any trouble with it!
Reese used to make a good hitch, but i'm not sure if they are still making and selling them. go to a camping trailer seller and ask about them. Also, make doubly sure you have some kind of anti-sway device on the hitch! you'll really love yours, when some goof goes by with his trailer swaying back and forth, and maybe with one or the other of the wheels leaving the pavement! And, it has put folks down over the hill, or up on the center guard rail on the turnpike!
