The bracket that bolts to the car seems pretty solid. It's held on with six bolts and the tow bar mounts with half-inch pins. Drawback is that the hitch system is not adjustable like a blue Ox or a Roadmaster but the VW is so light, I can move it easily and line up the hitch with the ball on the tow vehicle.
Man, if this thing comes loose, it will definately spoil my day. I intend to check the bolts and hitch at every stop. :wink:
