There was a thread on this already about aweek ago, you will destroy your clutch in no time, wansn't ment to pull. If the truck is still under warranty and the dealership sees the Hitch, they will for sure deny you any warranty work if it is drive train related. .02

I agree this will shoot your warranty.

However, if you could control yourself on your power application and avoid steep uphill takeoffs, I think that the clutch would work just fine. A clutch is designed to take engine torque, though in some applications that is limited by traction, pulling a load isn't any different to the clutch itself, however, the load DOES make it possible to inflict serious damage (by taking heat during engagement) to it if you were to operate the rig as if it had no load.

You have complete control over the power dumped INTO the clutch during engagement. That scares manufacturers. They'd need a wet, probably multidisk, clutch (like a motorcycle) to even THINK of warrantying that combination.
