We bought this to tow our 3,000 lbs. boat with our Subaru Ascent with a 5,000 lbs. towing capacity. With the OEM ball mount, we could really feel every jolt and jiggle from hard stops, going over bumps in the road, and trailering down dirt roads. However, the dual cushion ball has really improved our trailing experience. Once we get up to speed, we hardly notice we are towing our boat. It's also great because some of the lakes we visit are down dirt roads, and the cushion makes this a much more pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone towing a boat or larger trailer with a SUV as it maintains that comfortable ride and the jostling of the trailer is much less noticeable.
A year has passed with my Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned, Adjustable Ball Mount and I have nothing but praise for this mount. Once you find the correct height to have a perfectly level trailer there's no need to adjust. The beauty lies in the cushioning! Towing a Yamaha AR190 (3200lb boat and trailer combo) is silent. Even over the bumpiest pavement the tow is smooth. There is no harsh slamming when braking or taking off from the boat ramp. I don't know why everyone isn't running one of these, I wouldn't run any other hitch mount PERIOD! If you're on the fence, get off and buy one, you will NOT regret it!
Andrew H - 07/09/2017I needed an adjustable drop hitch to pull my new 13 foot Scamp camper with my F150 Raptor and this hitch does the job. As always with etrailer you get great service and the help videos are the best. Ordering from etrailer beats the heck out of driving all over town trying to find what you need and the fast and free shipping isn't bad either.
TM - 04/02/2016I received my order in a timely manner. Very pleased with the quality.
Thomas S - 08/09/2019This hitch is superior to most adjustables in that it leaves more clearance underneath than most competitive brands (less dragging) when in the "drop" position. It completely solved the problem (dragging, gouging roadway in dips, etc.) when towing with my motorhome with a high hitch receiver. Also, it's considerably heavier duty than appears in the illustrations.
All is good but for two things. I got a lot of clucking towing my travel trailer around town. The last hole ,furthest away from ball end,I think was drilled of center. The pin that was supplied would not pass. Used pin from another hitch company,that worked.
Best trailer hitch I ever had. Takes away all the noise that is usually associated with ball hitches and makes you forget you are even towing.
I use this mount to allow for clearance of my boat windshield under my 7' garage door. When I'm towing I raise it to level, then I drop to the lowest point when landing it in the garage. It's also really quiet with the cushioned mounts. The paint doesn't really hold up to the raising and lowering, but this would be way more expensive in stainless. Overall great product. And it is made in the USA which is rare.
I've had the cushioned draw bar on my Silverados for many years and love them. Brian from etrailer had this latest version to me 2 days after I ordered it, that was extremely fast . Thanks Brian ! This is for for my up coming 700 mile trip up North pulling a trailer with my sons new Side by side ATV. This trip should be a breeze with this new hitch. We haven't put the hitch on yet , but I don't forsee any problems thanks etrailer for you're help !
Good product. Very substantial (heavy) and functions as advertised. Etrailer has great information on it which helped me make an informed decision. The vertical receiver part could have a built in anti-rattle device which would make it even better with the cushioning. It could have a set screw or bolt or be rubber lined or something. Overall great product and service.
Well built, quality welds, adjustability great for using this hitch on our truck car, and side by side.
Two problems with this item. First, if you have any play between your receiver and the shank of this mount, you can't use most solutions to stop that rattle as the shank is solid. Next, there's also movement between the vertical pipe and the horizontal shank, enough that there is noise while towing, something I wouldn't have expected from a cushioned mount. I wound up swapping this with the cheaper 80412 that doesn't have these issues.
Arrived in 2 and a half days and I live in Hawaii! eTrailer staff were courteous and professional. Hitch mount I purchased is well built and exceeded my expectations.
four stars because I have not used it yet,and not sure when I will.Not going to take the new truck out in the salt. It looks well made and has a wide range of settings,the reason I bought it. My experience with etrailer was easy ordering and fast delivery.
The connection Between vertical and horizontal sections Does not allow the pin to be placed easily I had to use a hammer to force the pin IN place I hope after it gets some use it loosens up
The BEST!! Customer service goes above and beyond to assist with returns as well as determining the correct products to use!! THANK YOU!!!
Like the fact that I can move this hitch from my car to the wifes and set the hight to tow the trailer level.
This is a very robust product. I am sure it would carry a heavy class III trailer load with ease.
It is a great produvt and takes all of the noise away. No more clanging and banging as before without the isolation
Well made, exactly as pictured and described. Excellent service and fast shipping!
Great adjustable hitch! Very easy to adjust and very sturdy (plus very heavy!).
Excellent
Solid built. Fully adjustable. Great pr oduct!
This product work very well towing my boat. Less jerking back and forth. Much smooth ride.
Been burnt before with online ordering, first time in a couple years Everything went smooth, appreciated having the status of the order updated all the way to delivery
