Have seen them but don't need one. Probably good for someone which has to move several trailers of different heights. I have a 6 inch drop solid hitch with 2 inch ball, and straight out no drop hitch with 2 5/16 ball. Use the 2 inch most with all trailers except one, and twice a year for the 2 5/16 with launching and recovering cruiser.

Aluminum hutches have broken. Were they overloaded? No idea. I had an aluminum hitch and replaced it with a heavy duty steel curt. One less thing to worry about imo.

They are rated at 1000lbs tongue weight and 10k trailer weight. That eliminates them for most twin engine BBC boats.

look at bullet proof hitches. Super heavy dutie and I have the pintle hook up option the works great.

A buddy of mine just got one of these. Pretty stout piece and not too bad a price with all (3) ball sizes.

I have one and it works well, everything I tow is under 10,000 lbs.

I have one and it looks like $hit .
Looks good as pictured for about 6 months.
I would not buy another one .

B&W hitches look great 3 years later

Like Drake said, buy a bulletproof and be done. Rated for serious weight, they even put your name on the key. Quality stuff

I run a 20k bullet easy adjustment up and down 2in & 2 5/16 ball ends solid steel receiver

I would never, ever consider an aluminum hitch drawbar. regardless of the rating

I had the same brand hitch in the second picture. I was always worried about the 2 small tabs toward the truck side holding the ball piece to the hitch. Thought that was the weak link. Guess I was wrong. Lol

Aluminum hitches are cool looking and great for towing a 12 foot aluminum fishing boast with a 10 hp motor on it . If you are going to tow a 35 foot or longer twn big block performane boat use a steel fabricated hitch rated for more than what you think your boat weighs . Manufacture specs often leave out thngs like a full load fuel , 2 anchors , tools props , other sppulies .Coolers full of beverages ETC ETC those items could add another 1 to 2 thousand pounds . Be safe not worth trying to pick your boat out of a ditch when the hitch fails . Just my 2 cents RG.

Holy! Is that second one a rapid hitch? I tug 7-8k worth on one when I drag the cobra around. Rated 10k, maybe not.

Enough said. B&W ball mount and heat treated hitch ball it is. Thanks boys.

yes

had the weight safe, just didnt feel comfortable close to the limits... got rid of it and went with a bulletproof, overkill rated at 36k? yes... but $360 is cheap compared to the boat,the truck....most importantly my family's safety....
