Bolt On 30K Capacity Hitch for International 4700 Series Truck

Question:

I was just in the middle of typing a question and not sure what button I hit, so you may have received a partial question from me. I have just agreed to buy a Shipshe Extreme SSE 53 foot RV hauler trailer. The trailer has a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. I will be pulling with an International 4700 series truck. The truck is a mid size truck, larger than a standard 5500 type and smaller than a conventional semi tractor. Will the Reese RP30054 be an appropriate hitch for my application? Is there a way to eliminate the side to side roller motion? It looks like that feature is not liked by some in your QandA section. Thanks Randy

The Reese # RP30054 would be a good option for your application. Other than one review that discussed the side to side movement you describe, we've received positive reviews on the hitch. Other than making sure the hitch is properly assembled and maintained, Reese doesn't recommend any modifications be made to the hitch.
