California Residents: Prop 65 Warning
easy install on the sundowner toy hauler. made pulling the trailer so much more enjoyable, no longer have the harsh gooseneck pulling ride that I had before.
Shocked by the results!!!
Absolutely the best investment.
Should have bought this years ago, especially given all OKLAHOMA’s awful roads and bridges. It took all that uncomfortable drag/bumping off the truck (out of the cab), now it’s just a smooth ride!
Built to last! They cut no corners manufacturing this hitch. I haven’t had a chance to install it and test it out as of yet but have no doubt it will be a noticeable difference in towing comfort. Review to follow.
AMAZING at the difference!
Must have for your GN!
