Not meaning to sound too obvious here, but it depends on how heavy a load
you're going to be pulling. Seems like there has been discussions in the
past about how much the bumper hitch will tolerate. You might check the
archives. FWIW I haul a small aluminum boat with mine all the time with no
problems. I also know other Dak owners who haul larger fiberglass boats
with no probs.

worth it to gnaw through the leather straps.
