Question Good enough hitch?

Well already have a fifth wheel hitch but needed something to attach to the truck to be able to tow my utility trailer, but propane tanks under the back make it so I can't use a stock hitch, so Princess Auto up here had this hitch so I picked it up, it is supposed to bolt to the bumper, which I figure should be fine for my little trailer.
What do you think?

Should be fine...as long as you do not exceed the receiver and the bumper capacity.

I actually installed one similar on my '76 F150 (see sig) and it has worked great.
