Really good 2.5 " hitch.

This hitch seems really solid. The design is cool because none of the components can be stolen as long as you use the locking pin. Worst case could someone steal the pins that adjust the height of the hitch havent had a chance to pull it yet but i think it will be perfect if you want to leave it in the receiver and not bang all day then a pair Muffler spacers I needed two for my 2018 Ram 2500.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • No instructions

Sturdy for external accessories

I bought this in an open box and saved a few bucks, came quickly as usual with Revain. Let me tell you this is the real deal, if you are looking for a heavy duty towbar this is the one for you! I like height variability because I have several trailers that also vary in height and weight. This applies to everyone. Handy to store, although I haven't actually used it, you can flip it over so you don't have to bang your shin against the hitch when not in use! I use it on my 2500 Sierra and I highly

Pros
  • Excellent construction
Cons
  • I will add later

Very good quality external accessories

Commercial use. Mostly 5 wheel towing, but it also needs to be able to have all three balls and it does it well. Although it's rated at 5 inches, visually it doesn't feel as big as I expected. However I think if I got the 7 inch version it would be too low so it was the right choice. We've only been using it for a few months so the only concern is durability. I don't know if the holes lengthen over time or if the pins wear out. The time will show. Although great so far.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Nothing

I have one of these hitches on my Jeep with a lot more rise and fall, but my 2002 F250 Super Duty only needs 5 inches. B&W states that this model is 5-1/2" instead of 4-1/2" as described in Revain. I went with the 2-1/2" receiver model instead of the square tube. I will not buy any other brand and consider these clutches to be the best available. I also bought the Trimax hitch shown in the attached photos and the 16mm stainless steel uses washers on the end opposite the lock to reduce theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • poorly thought out

Built like a tank and versatile for towing

Ok, let's just say this is my second such animal. The first one wasn't the product's fault, the pins stopped being tight after 3 trucks. If I greased the pins I probably wouldn't need new ones. So if you take a few minutes and give the beast some love, he's our final 6 trucks. I bought this new one and took better care of it this time. Tip, try and buy the size that fits your receiver, in my case 3 inches but decided on 2 1/2 inches Offer 3 inches but not found.

Pros
  • Height adjustable for horizontal towing.
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

I have one of these hitches on my Jeep with a lot more raise and lower but my 2002 F250 Super Duty only needs 5 inches. not the 4-1/2" described on Revain. I went with the 2-1/2" receiver model rather than using a square tube gasket. I will not buy any other brand and consider these couplers to be the best out there .I also bought the Trimax hitch shown in the attached photos and used 16mm stainless steel washers on the end opposite the lock to reduce the chance of someone getting a pry bar onโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Stows under car when not in use.
Cons
  • Safety

It's a beast

I've had so many problems over the years and this is by far the best. Of course, you can buy a $50 Kurt or Reese hitch made out of crappy Chinese steel and welded crooked, and it'll probably work just fine. But if like me you want to rely on your products for towing, then get this. You'll understand why the price is the way it is when you see it and hold it. The paint is scratch and impact resistant. All pins are so precise that there is virtually no play anywhere, unlike other adjustableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Made in America with Limited Lifetime Warranty
Cons
  • Upgradeable

I'm not sure why it took me so long to get this!

Amazing product, exceeds my expectations! I bought the wrong size first because apparently I misread the size description so I had to go back and get the correct size (2 inches). I also have a silencer pad but can't use it because of the hitch and the receiver is a bit off so there was no proper contact. I'm sure I won't hear any rumble, but we'll see as I only installed this 15 minutes ago. I'll leave the site for now and win. I'm not paying for an $8 item :) I saw a review here where someoneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Different ball sizes eliminate the need for multiple ball mounts.
Cons
  • Speed
