Seems to be quite durable at first but haven't tested it yet (hence only giving 4 stars). I already had a 2" ball and prop on my Sportsman 800 so I could move my trailers around the yard and I had a recovery strap tie down point, but I needed a "backup vehicle" that I could use with my trailer could use for the lawn. and tools if necessary. I like the design but I probably should have bought one that didn't have a raised ball. There isn't much room between the ball and my rear bumper to fit a trailer tongue. I've tried my followers and can get it to work, but it's just another minor annoyance. I think time will tell what it is. If it breaks the first time you attach a recovery strap I will change this review.
