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're pulling any kind of trailer of considerable weight, especially long distances, this hitch is a must. Easy to install.....took me about 30 minutes.
Pulling my 21' camper trailer, weighs 3400 lbs, behind a Chevy trailblazer. This hitch got rid of the sag, improved stopping and overall ride experience. No more sway. Well worth the money.

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.

If you're towing a trailer which is more than 50% of the tow vehicle weight, you need this. For me it was the right tool for the job, towing a 7,000 lb tandem axle cargo trailer with my yukon xl k1500. I foolishly towed it 300 miles with a standard hitch and it was a harrowing experience to say the least. Had this hitch on the return trip and barely knew it was back there. No squat, no sway, and the steering axle clearly felt more planted. With a load distributing hitch my reciever is rated for 12,000 lbs. This one is good for 8,000 which is just a little more than what my truck is rated for, so it's perfect. I don't want the hitch to be the weak link in the towing equation, literally.
For installation, I used a 1/2" ratchet with 14, 19 and 28mm sockets and a 10" crescent to hold the bolts. You'll need a very big wrench to install a 2 5/16 ball with a 1.25" shank. I finally had an excuse to break out my 15" crescent and giant Channellocks for that one.
Being the thirty-something guy I am, I still haven't acquired the wisdom and patience that makes you stop and read the directions, lay everything out and think it through ftom beginning to end before starting. I just ripped open the box and started bolting things together. Much to my dismay I discovered the drawbar had a 1.25" hole and my 2 5/16 ball had a 1" shank. Then came the most arduous part of the process, driving around town for an hour looking gor a 1.25" shank hitch ball. Had I taken my time and inventoried the parts, I would have discovered beforehand that the kit provides a bushing which will allow you to use a 1" shank in the 1.25" hole. Doh!!
Installation was pretty straightforward. The hitch is highly adjustable, both with angle and height. I ended up installing mine with the hitch shank's vertical length down (as pictured), since my cargo trailer is low to the ground and the Yukon is not. With an RV, which tend to have the frame a bit higher off the ground, you'll probably install it with the longer vertical length up, which is how the instructions show. It didn't come with a sway control, but has provisions for one. I didn't need one.

Hooking up and disconnecting this hitch only takes a minute longer than a standard hitch. But it is HEAVY! If you're slight of stature you may have some difficulty lugging this around.

I would have given 5 stars if it were made in USA. I don't usually bolt Chinese parts to my vehicles, especially critical components, but there's no American choice here that I know of. The welds and powdercoat look decent enough.

Some other products which have made my truck into a darn-good tow vehicle and I recommend you check out include: Tekonsha P3 brake controllers and Air-Lift 1000 supplemental airbags for coil springs.

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.
