The one I have is a Husky. The torsion bars are slightly different, but otherwise same hitch.

We use this one but had to buy a bigger drop for the shank. We pull with a 2023 3500 Duramax Dually & have a 34' Vintage bathroom package trailer.

Make sure you have your set-up according to the instructions & it covers your trailer tongue/gross weight.

A Reese "Dual Cam" sway control with a Reese weight distribution hitch to match your tow vehicle and trailer weight is a Very Good system to use when towing enclosed trailers.

Whatever you are using make sure the ball is rated higher than what you are towing. I see guys with a class 5 hitch then put a class 3 ball mount and ball in it.

You can get 7500lb 2 5/16" balls or 25,000lb. I only tow 6800lbs but have a forged ball mount that is rated at 17,000lbs and a 20,000lb rated ball. Be safe out there.

no comparison to the equalizer hitch which is also made in America unlike the husky
