LOL..I hear yea. People do dumb stuff all the time. I can just see some ignorant person, with no common sense deciding to move their 6000 lb. pontoon boat with their quad, just cause they have a hitch that matches.

I think the main thing is versatility with other hitches you may have on your truck etc.

I used to pull a 2 and a half tonne cattle trailer with my 88 Big Bear

sounds the the polaris guys dont like 2" receivers lol. plain and simple its the convenience factor of being able to take it right outa your truck and put it in your atv. my 08 ac comes with 2" standard, which in my opinion they all should. no one expects to pull a 38 foot trailer with their atv just because it has a 2" receiver.

Plain and simple though the 1.25 hitch will be more than enough to exceed the towing capacity of ANY wheeler I don't care if it is an artic cat polaris honda or what. If your wheeler has a 2" hitch than good for you but A huge waste of money for something that does the same thing just as good as the one already on the machine. I also understand the versatility with switching between your truck and wheeler but is not worth the extra money to me when you will probably never have to switch them anyway or you can spend half as much and just buy another drop ball or what ever you need for your wheeler so you don't have to switch them constantly. Agree to disagree for the most part. happy riding

I have a hitch on my truck and one on my quad. It's a lot cheaper to buy an extra bar and ball for the quad than it is to get the 2" reciever.
