I sold mine and am towing with my favorite - a Pullrite. I would NEVER buy
another Reese/equalizer etc hitch. going from a white nuckel experience, day
after day pulling my trailer with my Suburban thru WY and CO and so on, to a
Pullrite, was like taking 100lbs of care off my back. My wife still - 5 yrs
later now, remarks how calm and rested I am at the end of a typical 650 mile day
pulling thru 40mph winds and passing 80mph Class 8's with their bow waves. it
is just one heckuva change that nothing can compare it to. These pullrites can
be bought for less than $500 if you look for a used one.
I have the one that came off my Suburban leaning against the wall of my house in
the driveway. I know that eventually someone will want it or I will put it on
ebay... in the meantime, it brings back wonderful memories while the "new" used
one on my E350 continues the restful towing experience.
never knock one until you pull with one. I will knock a Reese or other knock
off all day long!! I really hate them. especially the ridiculousness of that
friction "antisway" mechanism and I was using two of them !!
enuff, get a pullrite if you do not want a Hensley! but never knock either until
you have tried either or both. I did not like the Hensley, way too complicated
with a hundred fragile parts that took ramming the trailer, etc.
The pullrite is easier to hook up than the Hensley or the Reese type.
enuff
