Default Awesome hitch

I saw this in person and it is one heck of a piece of equipment, it must weight 30lbs .Nice that it rotates and slides back and forth would make hooking up a lot easier
Too bad the web site says $800



edit:
oops fogot the link

I think for $800 I'd rather move my truck than the hitch.

That is nice. But a lot of pins and moving parts that could potentially
break and cause a serious problem. Misplace a pin and your screwed.
Just my 2 cents

One more thing to fail. Backing up to get the ball under the hitch is not $800 worth of difficulty.

I got a back up camera with a 3.5" screen that gets me on top of that ball really easy for under $150. Not sure what they are smoking over there.
I have two adjustable B&W hitches with similiar pins and they are great for different trailers. Never had issues with the pins.

That hitch is a great idea but at that price point I`m not sure how they sell any.

When I bought my truck it had a DMI hitch and bumper on it. Same idea but a different way of doing it, nice but I found when I swing it sideways it is not easy to center. Out no problem, just stop!

he whole hitch is spring loaded so that the forces of the trailer don't get transmitted directly to the truck. That seems to work nice.

I have a B&W triple ball hitch that cost me $125. I can change balls in less than 15sec.
