To those of you who have trailer hitches....do any of y'all know the thickness of the steel mounting brackets that attach to your frame?

1/4-5/16 on the one I took off my truck which was a class V hitch from an F250 cut down to fit a ranger frame.

1/4" on my front and rear hitch. The cross square tube is also 1/4". I think 1/4" in the norm.

I think that is about what mine is too, I think 1/4" might be a little thicker than mine. It is also a class 3.
