Yes, this clutch is more expensive, but it's worth it.

I will not write reviews until I have fully tested the product and used it for a while. I have to say this is the best clutch money can buy. This new design is excellent. The pads of the EQs act like brake pads. Lining friction eliminates wobble (when properly adjusted). Tracker trailers drove past me, I drove in monsoon winds and rain and felt almost no sway (you can almost let go of the steering wheel, but I don't recommend you to do so). I have friends who have installed high end lead…

  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Zero

Good price bad packaging

Fist, packaging was terrible, parts stuck through the box at both ends. A minimum of gluing and the shipper will be sent in the factory box. Should have been double boxed or at least taped better considering the weight. Luckily the hardware package was still in the box but ended up falling out through a hole. If the packaging was better I would give 5 stars. I haven't connected the device yet, so I don't have an opinion on the performance. The workmanship is good, all accessories are included…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, everything is fine

Very strong clutch in clutches

Operating with (mmm at least) 7000 lb trailer, trip from California to New Hampshire in 4 days, clutch is mostly quiet and eliminates all wobble and roll very quickly. Even blowing out a tire on the I80 at 65 mph didn't affect the steering. The first thing we noticed was a slight vibration, by which time the first tire had snapped and the second valve stem had been blown off by swinging bits. It came to nothing. I wonder what torsion axles have to do with this? This is a serious snag for weight

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great for my 1/2 ton towing 7700 lb laden camper.

I bought this hitch to get the most out of my truck towing options when I bought our new 2018 Keystone Hideout 27DBS motorhome. The dealer offered a cheaper chain hitch and I knew I didn't need a weight distribution chain hitch. I needed an easy to use weight distribution hitch with built in sway control that I could reset without having to unhook the sway control. I have a 2005 F-150 Lariat with a 4x4 crew cab with a tow kit and a 3.73 speed with 18" tires giving my truck a towing capacity of…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competitors are here

Very strong hitch suitable for hauling groceries and winches

When used with a 7000 lb (minimum) trailer traveling from California to New Hampshire in four days, the hitch is mostly silent and eliminates any wobble and erases nods very quickly. Even blowing out a tire on the I80 at 65 mph didn't affect the steering. The first thing we noticed was a slight vibration, by which time the first tire had snapped and the second valve stem had been blown off by swinging bits. It came to nothing.

  • Dope

  • Expensive
