California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
This is our second Shocker – the first was for a 5th wheel camper. This hitch is a pintle for a heavy boat trailer. We brought the trailer home to CT from RI today and were just as pleased as we were with the 5th wheel. Absolutely no jarring or energy transmitted from the trailer on rough roads, even in construction zones. Highly recommend for both handling and equipment care.
Awesome hitch, controls my 16k dump trailer very well!
The best hitch I’ve ever bought won’t ever buy anything but that great product
If you have a Dodge/ram you will need the drop hitch for sure
