Mike 75,000 is just the miles I had put on the Chevy. It had 155,000 on it and did not how well I would trust it on long trips pulling the boat. Got my 2" ball installed today so may give the boat a pull tommorow. Chris I figured Monty would be the first to give me heck about it. Backed it up against my boat and it is a little lighter in color but will look just as good as the Chevy did pulling it. Hope I have as good a luck with it as I did my Chevy.
