Hitches

[giles]

Let's talk hitches and reviews.

I have had my Anderson Rapid Hitch for 18 years. I love it! Aluminum and 4-12" drop has worked flawless for me on multiple trucks. Only downfall is that it will get stuck in the receiver if you leave it in the winter. Only reason for replacement was the double sleeve rattling when I hit bumps.

This is a guess, but I'd guess that this hitch has over 100,000 miles on it. It towed every day all around Alaska for 3 years and many more miles since moving to Ohio. I 100% would suggest this hitch to anyone with a class 3 need. They make multiple sizes, but these fully adjustable hitches are the only way to go. One hitch for any trailer. These come with 3 balls (shut up @Hedgelj )

For whatever reason, the clunk had finally gotten to me and I replaced the Anderson with a B&W Stow and Go class 5. Adjustable from 0-7.5"

So far so good. Thing is stupid heavy tho so I'm going to need to get a locking pin for it. At what these cost, I am worried someone else will like it more than me. The rust on the ball already has me itching. But I'm going to have to get used to it or grease it.

We have a camping trip set for next weekend 2.5 hours away. If I feel up to it later today I will get the anti-sway hitch all set up and share that next. Only one choice IMO for that too.

Can’t you just get an anti-rattle clamp for it? I have one and it works great.

Yes, but my brain doesn't work like that. I did that on the last truck but on this truck it was 2 sleeves. Just bugged me. So I bought one fitted for the truck.

B&W Tow and Stow on my truck as well. 1 7/8”, 2”, and 2 5/16” ball options. Stupid expensive but it seems to be worth it, at least for now. It’s extremely well built and really convenient not having to pull and swap ball sizes or drops for different trailers.

I have the same Andersen hitch that was my dad's. Works great
