Its a valley brand. Bolted to the main frame rails with 2 bolts on each rail, than 2 bolts into a crossmember , and that one bolt into the bumper.
Idk, if I really like how its made, but its a class 5..

Well yes and no. The van handles it good. But the atv trailer is hard to see and it likes to sway back and forth at speeds higher than 60. So I cruised at 55.
