🚗 Enhance Towing Safety with CURT 17208 Replacement Weight Distribution Hitch Hookup Brackets Review

Everyone else here is right. They are very heavy and work great. I like them more than the brand on my last trailer. I'll steal them on my tongue when I get a new van.

Very well made and sturdy metal, I like how they overcome the maximum pivot point and rest on the frame side mount. The old ones only stopped at the top, which gave them a chance to let go when the pin was missing

They are too "heavy" for no apparent reason. The pull rod is a lot thicker than anything I've seen so you'll have to buy a new wider tool. Also, they have a greater tilt angle than any standard set. I have 2 campers and neither fits! Make sure you have ENOUGH space before purchasing these meaty items!

They were a little different than Reese's braces. First, all parts on this model are formed and welded, as opposed to Reese's formed and forged construction. I think I trusted the Reese brand more than these, but money was tight so the price definitely won me over. So far, so good. They seem to work just as well as the Reese clamps, but…

I bought these for a new caravan we bought and they work well with my Reese hitch with chains on cargo bars. The neck is quite wide for our trailer tongues, but they come with two sizes of bolts, allowing them to fit a variety of trailers. They fold well in half, hold up well. The only downside is that the pin holes are only on one side of the hinge, making it difficult to get the pin in one of the mounts to fit snugly against the propane cap. Not enough to knock the sprocket off, but still a…
