This product seemed VERY heavy duty but it didn't come with a ball to mount to it. So in other words you can't use it without buying extra parts. It is also kind of confusing and difficult to get installed.

If you are towing a larger trailer with considerable tongue weight, this is the only way to go. Much safer than a regular bumper hitch.

Towed a boat (gross 8,000 lbs) with a 7.3L Excursion. Seemed okay, just had to take it easy and get used to the handling. Then I installed this (1,000lb w/ shank), wow, what a difference. I won't tow without it again!

Getting it adjusted the first time took about an hour, but once I got it dialed in, piece of cake. Adds about 5 minutes of time to hook up the trailer, but very much worth it. Also much more affordable than some of the other models out there.

Replaced my vintage 1980 Eaz-Lift unit with this one for my boat trailer. After 'modifications', I found this one to be great.
The newer model has a different designed 'Quick Hook-Up' unit (the hinged part that attaches to trailer tongue) that has a poor adjust ment range and different footprint than my 'vintage' one. I opted to use the old one.
The 'Hook Up Wire Clip', for securing the 'Quick Hook-Up' is closed are not designed for regular use. Replaced with hitch pins from the hardware store.
The large 3/8 chain links are cumbersome and allow for little, if any, fine tuning. I replaced the chain with 5/16 galvanized high test chain.
The ball mount platform is a different design, so movement of the 'Quick Hook-Up' units on the trailer tongue is required.
Designed to accept a 1-1/4 inch shank towball, with a downgrade bushing to accept a 1 inch shank towball. 3/4 inch length is fine.

I bought this hitch because it didn't come with a shank (which the description clearly states for those of you posting reviews about that) because I needed a longer shank than what usually comes with these hitches. And of course it didn't come with a ball either (also clearly stated) because everybody has different ball size needs.

I'm using this on my regular cab 95 tacoma w/ added leafs and a 16' tandem utility trailer for hauling firewood. It works better than I expected. With brakes on both axles and this hitch I feel pretty comfortable with the amount of weight I'm pulling with my little truck. I was sure to read lots of articles and watch a lot of videos about how to adjust the hitch to my truck and trailer, and can tell you it is a bit of a process. It's definitely do-able though once you have the big tools needed, and it took me about an hour of adjusting and testing to get it right. I had to use a 4' pipe to get the needed torques.

Edit:

I'm now using this with a 92 F250. I've definitely used it to its max capacity (1000lb tongue weight), and it works really well. It drastically improves steering with a heavy load, and makes obstacles like speed bumps much less annoying. If you can't afford a gooseneck/fifth wheel, this hitch is the next best thing. I'll restate that it's very important to set it up right (making sure the springbars are parallel to the trailer tongue). Try to understand how it works, and you'll have an easier time setting it up. You also have to jack up the tongue around 4 inches above the ride height, lock the springs in place, and then sit the trailer weight down onto the spring bars.
