by:

Great product, lighter weight than previous hitches I have owned, gave just the right amount of adjustability.



by:

I would have preferred to buy the kit with both shank and tongue, but it's a company purchase, so I'll accept the price gouging. I wish there were locking pins as well. Called the manufacturer and they said that they're coming soon. Well-constructed hitch, very impressed.



by:

Bought a new truck which had a 2 1/2" receiver and did not like using a sleeve on the receiver pulling my travel trailer, this one worked great on it.



by:

Purchased this to replace the 2” I was using for my F250 after purchasing my F350. It was a pain to use the reducing sleeve and get the heavy hitch for my camper to line up with it to get the pin in. This was a perfect replacement. I was concerned it would work because the description and photos didn’t do a good job of showing it it 2.5” for the truck receiver and 2” to fit the hitch were it bolts in. A little pricey but worth every penny to eliminate fitting with the reducing sleeve!!



by:

This is a well made product and not so heavy as the welded DrawTite shank I was using previously. Most importantly, the hole pattern eliminates the dead zone other shanks have, where the attached hitch head is either too low or way too high.

I like that the hitch is shorter in length, as it reduces the leverage of the trailer tongue weight. Others may find this to be a drawback because the tailgate of a pickup truck might not open fully with a trailer attached due to shorter distance to the tongue jack.

This is one of the few shanks I could find that fit a Class V receiver and I will be purchasing more of these for our other tow vehicles. They are that nice!





by:

This is exactly what I was hoping for. Elimination of the wobbly 2 - 2.5 inch sleeve. This was a simple unbolt, rebolt using my current travel trailer hitch. Very sturdy hitch replacement.



by:

It arrived within a few days of ordering it and it's just what I needed.



by:

This product is exactly what I expected it to be and came very quickly. I will now be able to get rid of the spacer sleeve that I have been using for my previous hitch. This was my first order with etrailer but certainly will not be my last. Their price guarantee and customer service cannot be matched.



by:

Bought this so I could eliminate the hitch sleeve when towing my toy hauler. Works great and fits well



by:

Worked great! Heavy duty hitch.



by:

Works great with the Curt 17501.



by:

Although my hitch isn’t a curt it was a perfect match for what I need



by:

Product was exactly as stated and arrived quickly. etrailer answered all my questions and helped me find the rightt part. etrailer also has a great price match guarantee that I was able to use.



by:

Working with etrailer’s customer service is like talking with an old friend.

Great hitch to get rid of the adapter sleeve.



by:

Nice quality worked for what I needed.
