Not Worth the Investment

This receiver was a huge disappointment. As my tests showed, it was difficult to install and did not hold up well under pressure. I expected a higher quality product from an automotive brand like this. The only pro I can say is that it looks nice at first glance. However, that doesn't make up for the cons of poor design and lack of durability. Save your money and look for a different towing product.

Pros
  • High-quality stainless steel construction for durability and resistance to rust
Cons
  • More expensive than other receiver options on the market

Good value for money: coupling accessory

away from the keyhole. To lock, the key must be turned back to the "lock" position, so it's not as easy to use as the other hitch lock I have, which has a spring-loaded locking mechanism that allows me to remove the key and simply press the lock onto the stem to close it.

Pros
  • RELIABLE SAFETY. To protect your trailer and trailer ball from theft, this security pin is made of strong and durable stainless steel.
Cons
  • I will be silent

Unsafe design, use locking pin

Other brands. I feel like there is a lack of security features if the lock fails or is not set properly. There is no support and without a lock the shaft can fall out and you lose the trailer! In the end I settled on an anti rattle clutch locking pin because if the lock fails you still have a set screw that is firmly secured and cannot come out even if the lock fails. Also, if the pin works by itself, the latch will not allow the pin to fall out of the clutch.

Pros
  • for anti-rattle hitch. EASY TO USE. Bar style locking pin offers an impenetrable, anti-theft appearance and uses a simple 1/4 turn locking mechanism for easy locking and unlocking as needed
Cons
  • ill thought out
