On my 2004 there is a tubular hitch that curves around to the rear frame. I'm rated for 7,000 lbs. towing, 700 tongue weight.
If you're not exceeding the tow rate, why are you wanting a frame hitch? I know it will level out your rig. Have you hooked up the trailer to see what it looks like? Is it level?

This is the difference between the V8 & V6, which came with the receiver bolted to the frame crosspiece only. A V6 can be retrofitted with the V8 type of hitch.
