This alignment kit with yellow foam balls and LED lights makes it easy to hook up your trailer or camper during the day or at night. The magnetic, telescoping rods work with multiple applications. Attaches to your ball mount and trailer coupler.The ordering process and shipment was excellent. The aligner could use some improvements for goosenecks but certainly makes it easier. You just have to work with it and figure out how to make it work for the goosenecks. Thank you for your fast shipping.
Only got to use this once because it broke from falling off the hitch due to the magnet not being strong enough to hold its own weight.
Hitching my horse trailer has always been too time consuming for me. This Trailer Aligner is a great invention! I do not dread trailer hitching anymore.
The Performance tool and trailer aligner LED lights and yellow balls made it easy for me to backup my SUV to attack it to the trailer hitch. Highly recommend you consider purchasing this if you have a trailer.
This product work great,makes hooking up the 5th wheel a breeze

Works like a champ
I used yellow balls to assist with backing to the trailer. Was very helpful. If you have a hard time backing to the trailer, I would recommend this product.
Really helps to line up the hitch ball.
Works great! I have several trailers, but I bought this specifically for my twin axle flat bed trailer. For decades I tended to just eyeball the load based on how the truck was sitting. When I saw this advertised, I decided it would be nice to see the actual tung weight.... Simple and it works great!
It really helps backing up to a 5th wheel kingpin. It allows me to easily line up the receiver with the kingpin.
Glad I bought it!
Helpful for trailering. Quick delivery.
Functions well, but it would be even better if the camera on my tailgate was stronger.

Excellently! Now, however, I have a new tailgate camera and it is so clear that I have less need for the tailgate aligner.
They work as advertised and if I had an older vehicle with no rear camera they might be helpful. The cameras on my 2022 Silverado are fantastic. I recently borrowed a 2023 Silverado and they have further improved the trailer ball close up camera. No need for the aligner tool on newer vehicles.
The aligner was delivered very fast. This system/tool at under $20.00 is an excellent choice over a camera system at $150-200. This is especially the case if you, like me, do not pull a trailer much. It takes some skill development to get the alignment right, but not much. I got close enough on my first try. Much better than backing blind!
One of the blinking LED lights did not light. I disassembled it and found the small, delicate wire contact was not aligned proper in the socket. Misaligned aligner? Fixed it and it works fine now. I do not expect to be hooking up at night, but as an early morning aid, the LED option is a good idea.
I was concerned that this aligner would not work for me because I use a 180 degree aluminum hitch ball assembly on my GMC pickup with which I move the trailer around occasionally. I tow on the road with a 3/4T Suburban with an all steel, weight balancing hitch ball assembly. The aligner is magnetic and will not attach to aluminum.
However, the edge of the hitch pocket sticks out beyond the bumper just enough to provide a steel surface directly behind the ball. (See photo).
I recommend the aligner to the frugal, occasionally tower. More frequent towing? I would go to a quality wireless camera set up.
Use them as guides when pulling on the trailer.

Work well. help me load the car without another person guiding me on the trailer.
This item has saved my marriage! No more arguing with my wife about how she waves her arms around with no apparent meaning! Works great especially when at an angle.
The threads are stripped out on the red part on one of the aligners, so the on/off doesn't work very well. Other than that I think they will work.

This definitely should not happen with a new set. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you and provide assistance.
Sometimes you have a good day backing up to a trailer. Sometimes you have a bad day, this tool makes for a good day!
These things are cool. I haven't used them yet, but I can tell they will make a world of difference when I back up to the hitch. The red lights are a great advantage for low light conditions. The order was quickly filled and customer service was very fast to address an issue I had with a different part of the order. I'm so impressed that I will happily order again from etrailer.
This tool greatly enhances the efforts of a one man operation.
Great help in backing up to trailer!
Love them. Big help when always hooking up by myself.
Works, cheaper than a camera.
