Unreliable and Unsafe

This product is a complete disaster. I installed it on my car and it broke on the first use, nearly causing an accident. The lack of quality control in these automotive accessories is shameful and the risk to the drivers on the road is enormous.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Unreliable, Unsafe

Nice but had to return

I liked it but had to return it as it's not a real euro ball which is 50mm in diameter. For newer euro ball hitches the 2" ball is too tight. Kurt said it would work but they were wrong. And they don't make a ball with a 50mm ball. Send it back.

Pros
  • External accessories
Cons
  • Everything ok

smaller than expected, good workmanship

Haven't towed it yet, but it looks very well made and goes well with the car. Just omitting the star as scarce seems to use different standards to describe ball height than non-euro ball mounts so the difference between what I got and what I expected is more than one inches. Let's see how that affects the trailer's stance when attached. If it doesn't meet my expectations I'll update the review but I expect it to work fine.

Pros
  • ball joints
Cons
  • questionable purchase for seniors
