Great fit and finish looking forward to the first tow with it.



by:

This is a must have for full-time trailer hauling.
No ball grease needed. Easy to adjust for a level trailer, smooth towing.
I increased my trailer tires to light duty truck tires (a little taller tire), for heaver loads & ease of mind to haul at 75 mph speed. This hitch allow me to fine tune the trailer ball height for best setup on my heavy duty Toyota Tundra truck.



by:

We got this product & we received it within 3 days. That was so quick. This company is great. The product is good! Customer service are very attentive & will send you the notification with regards to the product that you order.??



by:

Good hitch so far towing multiple days a week for work . Wish the aluminum balls didn’t oxidize up so quick , doesn’t keep it nice look for long .



by:

The hitch looks very nice, the adjustability is great.
On our 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe in order for the hitch to clear the bumper the second hole must be used.
When in this position the hitch has alot of play. I will be ordering an anti-rattle device to eliminate the extra play.



by:

I've only used the hitch once, but it works great. Price was reasonable and shipping was quick.



by:

hitch looks nice, adjustments are quick, seems quite loose and noisy without the trailer on it but I'm sure it will be alright when hooked up.
definitely get the locking pins.



by:

Love the look of my new hitch, arrived ontime, locks are great to keep hitch secured to my truck, Can't wait to trailer my boat to the Keys and give the hitch a good trial run.



by:

I was hesitant about the hitch being made of aluminum. After one year of use I have no issues with the hitch. Great adjustability and ease of use.



by:

Hitch parts were well packaged and arrived in a timely manner. This is my second Andersen hitch setup. Top quality American made products. I will continue to support both Andersen and etrailer.



by:

Fantastic hitch, works great for all my trailers. Easy to adjust and is holding up really well. Would definitely recommend it and would absolutely buy it again.



by:

etrailer is a great company to do business with. I chose the Andersen hitch because a friend bought one in 2001 and it still looks good and functions perfectly.



by:

Great hitch for leveling my trailer and weight saving.



by:

Heard great things about this hitch from friends and co-workers.
etrailer had them in stock and shipping was fast.



by:

Great Co. to deal with, pricing, shipping, condition all as stated. We will be using on a new work trailer and am tired of the steel variety rusting and not looking good, we will see in the long term if we are satisfied.



by:

Great product got here quick, fantastic quality, love the adjustment for height, cost was very reasonable for the quality.



by:

The hitch has held up really well and continues to function as expected. The aluminum has oxidized which is unfortunate but nearly impossible to prevent on a part such as this.



by:

JUST what I wanted.Delivery was fast.The hitch was just as described.I would recommend e trailer to anyone.Thank you for a great dependable company.



by:

Love my new hitch, not only does it work great it looks great too, Thank u so much!!!!!



by:

It looks great and works great.



by:

Fantastic!!!!!



by:

Great product and a great price. Very fast shipping with good communication. I highly recommend etrailer.



by:

Delivered fast! Hitch is beautifully manufactured. Already installed and works great.



by:

This is extremely well built and it looks great.

The only downside is that it is a bit expensive.



by:

Haven't used it yet but seems like good quality and the finish is nice and smooth

  • Recommended 7-Way Connector for a 2023 Chevy Express Cargo Van
    Unfortunately that 12 pin rectangular plug has nothing to do with the trailer wiring harness. To add a 7-way and 4-way connector to your 2023 Chevy Express Cargo van you're going to need to buy two separate harnesses. The reason for this is that the van's with the towing package came from the factory with the 7-way connectors like item # HM40975. The other ones have nothing and no one made a custom fit 7-way that just plugs in. The first connector you will need is the Curt Wiring Harness...

    In order to tow the 1976 Starcraft Starmaster 6 Pop Up Camper with your 2008 Subaru Tribeca you will need a trailer hitch, trailer wiring harness, and ball mount/hitch ball. These will be the only requirements to tow the trailer but you may also be interested in a transmission cooler to help prolong the life of your vehicle's transmission.

  • Does Ball Mount Length Need To be Determined When Picking Out Ball Mount
    There isn't a set formula for picking out ball mount length like there is for ball mount rise/drop. Typically around 7 to 10 inches works for most people. Some people will go longer if they are trying to be able to drop a tailgate and there's a tall a-frame jack in the way. Assuming you have a pretty standard setup and you have the rise/drop figure that you need worked out already a shorter in length ball mount would be just fine. I attached a link to a page that has all of our ball mounts...

  • Recommended Ball Mount With Rise for 2015 Odyssey with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch
    Just to make sure we are accurate on the actual rise you may need, lets cover some basics. With the tow vehicle parked on level ground, measure from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver opening. Then, with the trailer level, measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler. The difference between these hights will determine how much you will actually need. I have a diagram attached to this article showing how this process is done. I also have a video linked showing hitch height...

  • Aluminum Ball Mount For 2 Inch Hitch With 2-5/16 and 1-7/8 Hitch Balls
    There is an aluminum ball mount that will allow you to use both 1-7/8" and 2-5/16" hitch balls, but since there isn't a combo ball with those sizes together, you'd have to get the 1-7/8" ball separately. So you have two options depending on the drop you need: - 4" Drop: Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3461 - 5-1/2" Drop: Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount Kit # AM3405 Both ball mounts come with a combo 2" and 2-5/16" hitch ball, so you'd also need to add...

Trimming of the fascia may be required. I've attached a video of this install for you. It does not come with the wiring harness. For the wiring, I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, # C56331. This is an easy installation of a 4-way flat trailer connector by plugging...

  • Adjustable Ball Mount with 2 Balls that are NOT Chrome
    The B&W adjustable ball mounts all use chrome balls. Fastway has ball mount # DTSTBM6400-2S with stainless steel balls. Stainless steel doesn't have the wear problems that chrome does but it does cost more. We also have # AM3461 that has the greaseless capped balls though the rest of the balls are chrome.

  • How to Tighten or Remove the Ball Lock Pin on Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount # AM3461
    On the Rapid Hitch Adjustable, Aluminum Ball Mount # AM3461 there is that pin on the ball part of the assembly that has a threaded hole in it. That threaded hole should be visible when the pin is in there correctly. You can use a 1/4 inch screw or bolt to thread into that hole and then turn the pin so that it goes in further and clears the path for the larger pin that holds the ball portion to the shank. Instructions are not included like you said. This includes the one that I was inspecting...

  • How to Measure for Rise or Drop Needed to Choose a Ball Mount to Tow a Trailer Level
    The typical way to determine how much rise or drop is needed to tow a trailer level is to park the truck and trailer on level ground and take some measurements. Since you do not have the trailer but do have a measurement we can still figure it out. We tell folks to measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the coupler is level and from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the tow vehicle. The difference is the amount of rise or drop you will need. The...

It does fit a 2-1/2 inch receiver and stil gives you 4 inches of drop or 5 inches of rise. The Weigh Safe doesn't have the greaseless hitch balls like the Rapid Hitch but they are stainless steel.
