    Iowa State Law requires weight distribution hitches!

    Did you know that Iowa State Law requires weight distribution on any trailer over 3,000 lbs gross weight? That's crazy! What about when the vehicle manufacturer recommends against a WDH (think unibody vehicle)? What if you are traveling through a state and a WDH is not required in your home...

    I am having trouble with the trim on the side of the upper level separating when hitched. I have included photos. The first photo shows the location of the trim. The second photo shows the trim separated when hitched and the last photo shows when not hitched. I don't think I have a problem...

    Andersen hitch question

    Hello I'm new to this stuff so this might be so obvious that I'm looking right past the answer. I'm going to pull a Geo Pro 20BHS using an Andersen WDH with my '21 Ford Ranger. The issue I'm having is the factory receiver on the truck won't allow the hitch slug to slide to the second hole in...

    How much can the rear hitch hold?

    We have a 2023 Riverstone with a Class 2 hitch and 300 lb. limit. Our ebikes (64 lbs. each) and a rack would total 200 lbs. but every major bike rack manufacturer requires a Class 3 hitch to carry ebikes. The Hollywood Racks RV Rider is made for RVs and holds 2 bikes at 80 lbs. each. But they...

    Front hitch - Forester/Sunseeker - Chevy chassis

    As a new owner of a 2015 Forester 2251SLE, I want to have a front hitch but evidently the hitch manufacturers don't offer them for the Chevy Express after 2002. From what I have found online, The issue is there aren't holes predrilled in the frames any longer. I was hoping the pre-2002 hitch...

    Hitch Hard to Release from Ball?

    I have hooked up my new trailer twice and each time it was a PITA to get the ball to release from the hitch. I bought some white lithium spray to use the next time. Will this work or is there something I need to look at to get the ball to release from the hitch?

    Compact Tractor iMatch Hitch

    There's a few out there using compact tractors to jockey trailers around. For maneuverability they can't be beat. Lots of import Cat 1, 3 point hitch to 2" receiver versions. However, if you have a JD iMatch or QuikHitch the choice then becomes almost non-existent. Import quality and ratings...

    E2 hitch from 600 to 800lb

    I found someone that said it was ok on another forum, but looking for confirmation that one can upgrade the 600lb unit to an 800lb unit simply by replacing the round bar spring arms to the 800lb size. That would sure save me some $$ and make my decision on what kind to get easier!

    Need recommendation for hitch extender + riser/drop

    When I got my RV (2022 2109S Mini Lite), I had a truck and that's the vehicle the RV dealer installed the weight distribution hitch / anti sway bars to. Now I have a Suburban and the (same) hitch brings the trailer too close to the vehicle and it is way too high (even after I lowered it as far...

    Fighting Hitch Itch

    This winter we are doing a new (for us) thing. We will spend four months in one site. Although after a week we hitched up long enough to reposition the boards under the wheels as the tires on one side were not fully in the boards. Should we plan to hitch up a second time to roll the tires to a...
