I've got the Trailhunter and can say it's built like a beast. I was going to cut a hole to access my Fumoto valve, but the steel is hardened. The plate is embossed, so it'll be hard to damage.
It's not hard to take off with a creeper (and ramps) since it has two slotted holes. You can lower it...
I've been brave and brave and brave.
But my gal only weighs 1500 pounds. This truck pulls much better than the previous generation. I've tried Tow/Haul mode once and found it has too much zip, if that makes any sense.
