Review on Tow Ready 118159 Replacement Towing by Viterbo Dashora

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great product but I would like a special round tube version.

That's a nice detail. Works fine for my application, but not quite perfect. The manufacturer tried to create a "universal" part that would fit square or round tube receivers. While it's not entirely suitable for round tubes, it's an acceptable approach given the many different tube sizes, but it's worth reducing the star. I cut mine to fit my pipe, but it just doesn't fit flush on either side - it's either/or, not both. If one side touches, the other doesn't." I just got the front flush and left it alone for now, but I bought another to slowly trim the plastic to help with the setup and my OCD issues haha all in all a very good product that works wonders I have a 2000 jeep cherokee xj with the original factory hitch and hitch the hitch was pretty badly rusted from the previous climb in the north east so I decided to replace it with a Curt 13160 coupler to replace (see also review) The original had a welded pocket which housed the OEM 7 pin connector whereas the Curt does not This product solves the problem of where to install the connector The only other spot I had was on my bumper which is a custom order and has a tire holder - I didn't want to modify it My OEM 7 pin connector will fit straight in and with the supplied tape I tied it around the curt. a tube. Before tightening it, I positioned it where I would have easy access and was pleasing to the eye. You can see in the attached picture (fitting the hitch and tire holder required removing my bumper, this was in the process of leveling it) the box fits nicely onto the bumper and holds the connector in place. Spring.

Pros
  • Generates trust
Cons
  • I don't like it that much, everything is fine
