Trailer hitch on fiver

Just wondering how many of you put a hitch on the back of your Montana capable of pulling say 3000# and how you put it on. Thanks in advance

Several topics about this over the years if you do a search. Here's a recent thread. I will say you are approaching a weight even I would be a bit concerned with.

I built one for my Monty that would probably do just fine. Had one on my last 5er, and it was not nearly as well built as the Monty.
I built a receiver across the back and then ran to a brace about three foot in and tied it across the frame as so not to put all the strain at the very end of the frame.
