What type of hitch is it? If it is less than 2" it probably is pretty weak. What I ended up doing with mine was going to Crappy Tire and picking up a 10000lb tow hook and installed like what he did in the following link:

It involves drilling into your frame as there is only one hole there.

Or add a rear tow hook to the side of the frame. Or buy a new rear bumper with tow points

Class 5 hitch, and plow mount good enough tow points for me? Theyre both directly to the frame....

One is fine... but two is useful for situations where you need to be pulled backwards and to one side or the other. In some cases, a hook on the other side of the frame rail would be handy. But I wouldn't worry about it too much.
