California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Last hitch I’ll ever buy! Heavy duty to say the least. smooths every little bump. I pull a lowboy Haulmark for my Harley and no more lean on the bike at every gas up. Highly recommend and made in America!
Great hitch for smoothing out bumps and bangs while being very robust. Couldn’t believe how much smoother the towing ride was not feeling every pavement seam heave, lip, or surface hole through our RV’s frame from our Featherlite car hauler. The rubber cushions eliminated what used to come through the hitch and the Air Ride eased the jars on our small SUV on the trailer. Our total load is about 6000lbs so we’ve got plenty of reserve capacity for safety as well.
