That's a really good thought. You should also check the size of the hitch ball. As Gonzo suggested, it should be 2", and not one of the 1-7/8" units that are commonly available. The number is often stamped right into the top of the ball.

And you should also lie down on your back and look upward into the cup as you open and close the hitch lever, just so you understand how the hitch works. Not many folks really know what is going on in there. You should see the "shoe" that Gonzo mentioned slide back and forth. I remember being surprised when I finally did that, years ago.
