I agree with Bobby.  Reese has been around for many years and years ago, 
like when I was in high school that I remember (1950's), was the industry 
standard and big name in hitches way back then.  I use Reese which is a 
very rugged and reliable hitch, and one hint I can offer, when hooking up 
at an angle, don't try to hook up the spring bars, put the trailer on the 
tow vehicle hitch ball and pull it out a bit to get the trailer somewhat 
straight with the vehicle and then hook up the spring bars, its much easier 
that way.
