battle hardened! towing groceries and winches

I towed a 12,000 pound trailer from California to Alabama, back to California, and finally back to Alabama with this hitch while recently retiring. I needed to upgrade my 2018 2.5" F350 receiver to a heavy duty Curt model that could handle the increased hitch weight (this hitch has a 2200lb limit, the stock receiver has a 1500lb max limit and the new Curt has a limit of 2700 lb ). I would like the hitch limit increased to 2700 pounds to accommodate heavier receivers. For this reason, I'mโ€ฆ

Good product, bad customer service.

This innovative and easy-to-use heat. I like its clean look. However, my first arrived defective. The scale didn't work. I returned it for a refund. When I called customer service they were neither friendly nor helpful. I ordered a new one and only use it because it's the only catch on the scale. Now that I've seen and uploaded my trailer, I'll probably consider a different brand next time. The GenY torsion bar clutch received excellent reviews. If you want a weigh-in, you can usually get a 10%

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost never

I'm disappointed it let me down just when I needed it most - travel time

First of all I really like this clamp. It looks great, is very durable and until yesterday was doing exactly what it was designed to do. The internal locking mechanism used to raise/lower the hitch and change the size of the balls cannot be disengaged. Clear up; When I remove the dust cover and put the key in the cylinder, the lock turns but doesn't release the locking pin that holds the actual clutch component to the shaft. If you look at the online pictures, you can see the "shark fin" mountโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I'll add later
