Howdy!
Just got our new Sahara 4XE delivered tonight, woot! Will have a long (probably too long ...) post tomorrow with details and good photos
One item has me a touch baffled but in a [potentially] good way. We have a Reese hitch carrier we used with our DD/RT, and an old ball/mount from a previous T4R.
Here's the thing: they're 2", because they were both for a Class IV spec hitch on both of those vehicles. I was a little bummed I'd have to get an adapter for the carrier (or a new one) because a Class II hitch is spec'ed at 1-1/4", in fact, here's the Tow Package from our window sticker:
Here's the question: our hitch is 2", is this a 2" Class II? Is it a Class III/IV hitch assembly though the vehicle itself only allows Class II weight (3500 / 350 tongue weight).
I could tell as soon as I looked at it, a 1-1/4 looks small,I could tell this was 2", ball mount we already had fits perfectly, even measured it for some photo-graphical evidence
Oh, here's a reference for hitch Classes:
