EV1 Custom RXT Trailer Hitch



===



In order to tow our ACP RXT (Range Extending Trailers) we
developed a 2x2 trailer receiver for the EV1.  The 
heaviest of the RXT trailers is a total of 500lbs with less then
50lbs of toung weight, so that became our target
requirement.

The initial challenge  was mating the receiver to the EV1's
aluminum space frame in an effictive way without adding too much
additional weight to the chassis.  Note the addition of
a side to side (frame to frame) aluminum plate
structure above the hitch assembly (below the floor), and 'L' brackets
on the interior of the trunk securing the structure.

The following pictures and diagram are our first version
for this project.
