California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
Very happy with this hitch. There is a “learning curve” determining what the proper air pressure should be with the different loads on the trailer, but after that it is smooth sailing. Definitely works as advertised and takes out the bucks and jerks from the trailer. Great product.
