Today we'll be reviewing part number 63015, this is the pintle hook from Tow Ready. It's going to have a gross towing weight of 30,000 pounds with a maximum tongue weight of 6,000 pounds. This pintle hook can be bolted to a pintle hitch mount or directly to a reinforced utility truck bumper. All the mounting hardware that you need is included. It is made from a steel construction with a powder coat finish so it's going to stand up really well against rust and corrosion. If we take a look at the mounting holes here on the back side, each hole is going to offer a diameter of 17/32nds of an inch. Center on center measuring across is going to measure 3 3/8ths.
Center on center measuring up and down is going to measure 1 3/4 of an inch. Very easy system to operate. In order to open up the hook all you got to do is release the pin, lift up on the T-handle and then pull it back. That's going to open it up, that way you can fit the Lunette ring in. If we measure the distance right here, the gap, it's going to give us the measurement of 1 3/4 of an inch. The safety pin and clip is attached with a chain, that way you don't have to worry about losing it you can always keep it close at hand. It's also a really easy system to bolt on to the pintle hitch mount so for our demonstration today we'll using a pintle hitch mount just to show you how simple that is.
A lot of times they have numerous mounting locations so once you have the mount holes picked out that you want to use, all you need to do is install the bolt. For our demonstration I'm just going to install the top two. Then you would need to install the lock washer and the nut. Once you have all four bolts through and all the hardware tight and secure you'll be ready to make your connection and get out on the road. That's going to do it for today's review of part number 63015. This is the pintle hook from Tow ready rated at 30,000 pounds. .

I have only used this hitch a few times, having recently purchased it. I like to see reviews after a product has seen some use. Pintle hitches are a simple mechanism, this one seems to be beefy and well made. There is a little lip at the top of the hook you can see in the listing photo if you look and already know it's there, If things are tight this is enough to catch on the loop when you are trying to unhook. If you are jacking up an already heavy trailer, this is a 30K lb hook, and can't get free of the truck it can be frustrating.
I switched to a Lunette ring after noticing excessive wear on my ball couplers from driving on dirt roads every day. These give me peace of mind while driving, they are a more robust design and they are easy to inspect for wear when attaching the trailer to the vehicle. The only wear I see now is where the ring and pintle hook ride is polished.
I have used this pintle hitch to pull several military trailers several hundred miles and it has worked perfectly
Product everything I expected and more. Very high quality. Already used to haul military trailer...trip accomplished with no issues. Very satisfied. Will shop here again. Also super fast shipping. Thank you.
excellent quality and prices . never had any issues as always from anything I have purchased. constantly pulling equipment trailer. nice to see etrailer asking a year later if every things ok with product, tells me you don't just make a sale and forget about us. thank you for the outstanding service
Has been installed, works perfectly and fits larger pintles. Highly recommend the hitch and etrailer as a dealer, Super service by the way..
I haven't used it yet but the Customer Service was great and the shipping was timely and free! It is really heavy duty stuff, as I was very surprised by the weight of the boxes. All the previous reviews say it is very heavy duty. I also can attest to that.
More later,

Excellent quality. Will do a great job of helping to haul around a 12,000 excavator.
This hitch is heavy duty and works great towing my military surplus trailer.
Works very well although it has a lot of slop in the top bar and lock. Great for occasional use.

Seems like a well cast hitch. wear and durability is down the road. It passes the look test. I am pleased with the purchase.

This has been a servicable well made product. Everything I would ask for . I use it on a large trailer with heavy loads, often in the 20K lb range. Most of all Etrailer contacted me for an opinion after a year use. As I said in the first review thats what counts. This is a great company I have bought multiple items from them. They know their products and stand behind them.
