I was able to use the center section of the hitch from my '05 and mount it between the frame rails. The hole is dead center of the license plate. It is perfect! I cover the hole with the plate when not in use. The only negative is that the pin hole is behind the bumper so you have to reach under to put it in...no big deal. I use a ATV winch and relay to bring it up and down so I don't have to get out of the truck. The plow itself is a snowsport brand...is small and light, but plows like you would not believe! It is the 3rd truck I have had it on.
