Anyone recognise who makes this hitch or what class it mite be?

I can't find any pictures of the same one online or the ones I do have 4 bolts on each side and mine only has 3, I'm guessing just a basic class 3 hitch. Any help would be appreciated.

It looks just like mine does, mines a u-haul brand I belive but I think the three bolts on each side is just like a generic thing maybe?

Yeah i wouldnt run a hitch that didnt have a label on it for the load rating. Especially if it failed and caused an accident.

Bolted together crossmember, I would suspect no higher than a class 3 at most. I have a class 5 curt that also only has 3 5/8" bolts each side but the whole thing is very heavy welded steel.

Like ISPKI I have a Curt class 5 hitch. Amazon had a $20 off coupon and free shipping so it was $170 delivered to my door for a hitch rated for 17,000# trailer weight and 2,450# tounge weight. (Model 15300)

I'm very happy with it. I've hauled quite a few trailers in the past couple weeks while moving and it's been great having the piece of mind knowing I'm not going to rip off an old or homemade hitch with an unknown weight rating.

Does the bolted cross member butt up to the mounting plates or does the cross member protrude through the mounting plates when bolted? The mounting plates look substantial, how thick are they? The actual mount being reinforced like it is might give a clue to manufacturer.

Well I did manage to scrap the paint off the sticker on the hitch and not destroy it, the sticker says "EAZ-LIFT" on it which I tried googling with no luck.

I did find one post of a guy selling one off of a 70s truck that mostly looked like the one I have and it's a class 3 so I'm pretty sure I have a class 3 hitch.

I think if I'm going to have to drill holes for this hitch I may as well just order a new one and have the piece of mind knowing what hitch I have and the ratings on it too.

Here's a few more pictures I had taken and didn't post, hopefully this mite help someone else in the future.
