California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
This product worked flawlessly for my application on a 2023 F150 Raptor. We towed about 6200lbs 2200 miles from Colorado to California and back. This truck was not built for towing with the softer suspension but when setup properly with the shocker weight distribution hitch and airlift air bags the ride is super smooth towing a trailer. I wish I would have bought this hitch a long time ago. I appreciate a well made product. These days that is hard to come by.
