@GrizzlyNinja, I have a Moose receiver hitch on my 2008. I like that it bolts to the frame. I didn't like how the 2" receiver tube was only stitch welded to the plate on one side, and the plate is kind of thin so it can flex. I sandblasted the paint off, fully welded it front and back. I am also planning on adding gussets that run from the bolt holes to the corners of the receiver tube. The plate still flexes more than I like it to. I haven't seen any of them that are anywhere near as good as I could build myself but the advantage to buying one then modifying it is that they have done the tooling to make the mount plate fit perfectly. Hope this helps.

I have the original Yamaha item (comes as a standard item on the Portugese market) No idea what should be wrong with it.

This is what the stock hitches are like in the US and why people are saying they are not up to the task, and add the 2" receivers:
Now I understand. I suppose I may call that a piece of crap ...........
The picture shows the receiver + other parts (don't have separate pictures of the parts A and B) as they come on the EU-market and how they are attached to the Grizzly.
Of course it has an EU approval number.
The D and Dc -values are both 23 kN - 2344.5 kg = 5167 pounds (lb). That's seems more than enough to me for the Grizzly :wink2:
The maximum vertical load ("pressure on the ball-joint") is 150 kg = 330 pounds (lb)

I searched up down and sideways when I was buying a receiver bracket.
I wanted strong, looks good and Cheap.
KFI was the absolute lowest price of any I could find.
I have one on my 2016 and I bought one for my 2009 when I had it.
Also just bought a kfi for my dads 2012 grizzly. Very very easy to install and have not let me down .
