I have read that 463-310-01-04 will work fine with a 2003 G500. Does anyone know the towing capacity of the hitch? Thank you all for your help. Happy 4rth!!! V. | ||

Why not use a correct hitch like https://www.g-wagenaccessories.com/products/oem-type-w463-trailer-hi... Known capacity of 7000 pounds towing capacity and 700 pounds tongue weight | ||

The picture is from a new G550 at the dealer a couple of years ago. Edited by otiswesty 7/9/2020 12:33 PM (Hitch.jpg) Attachments ---------------- Hitch.jpg (67KB - 1 downloads) | ||

Posts: 77 | Re: OEM Trailer hitch 463-310-01-04 towing capacity I would suspect the weight rating has more to do with the stability of the G at 70MPH, braking ability all while it's crummy weather out with a sidewind AND marketing and regulatory "laws" VS limitation of the metal. Most SUV the size of a G have 7,000 capacity, at least in the US most cars I have seen seem to be in classes and each rating for each class. I removed my hitch when I installed an aftermarket bumper and the factory setup is stout, I suspect you could hang the G on the end of it. My worry wouldn't be the hitch on the G. My concern would be reasonable weight, speed, destination, ETC. 7K offroad is way different then down the highway. | ||
