Not Worth the Hype - my new review

Save your money and avoid this product. The setup is not intuitive, and it doesn't work as expected. The only positive aspect was its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions. However, I found that it caused extra wear and tear on my tires, which is a significant issue for an automotive product. Overall, it's not worth the hype, and there are better options out there.

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • Does not fit all tire sizes

Very well built. Allows rotation and engagement/disengagement in one operation.

Very well built. Makes turning and engaging/disengaging in the rear position a breeze. I only have 4 stars because it's supposed to be non-binding, but mine dangles a bit when I push it.

Pros
  • EASY INSTALLATION. This 5 wheel caster easily mounts to any standard 5 wheel carrier rail. They allow you to maximize the functionality of your truck body by slotting them into the fifth wheel rails.
Cons
  • Some defects

Ideal for back support

Works great. Perfect for an easy climb up my driveway. It was always difficult to reverse into our long driveway, it was uphill, a little straight and with a lot of obstacles. Since I have a slider, I can return to my home location on the first try. Saved a lot of time and nerves.

Pros
  • VERSATILE. This fifth wheel roller is compatible with all standard CURT fifth wheel guides and most CURT fifth wheels (sold separately)
Cons
  • Expensive
