Hello!
I've been interested in getting an adjustable hitch assembly for a while now, but haven't had a chance to look seriously into it. Courtesy of my volunteer work with Scouts, I find myself towing a variety of trailers (it's what I use my truck mostly for)...needing 2", 2 5/16", and even the occasional small boat trailer with a 1 7/8" hitch on it. Instead of carrying 3 separate hitches that all have the same drop, it'd be nice to have one hitch that I can adjust the drop on.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I found this one: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_245756_245756 ...looks like about what I'd need (I DEFINITELY need the 10K capacity, assuming it's as beefy as it looks). Are these really as strong as the "traditional" 10K hitches? I certainly don't want to compromise in capacity or quality...does anyone have any brands/models they prefer, or any reasons to recommend against going with the one I linked to? FWIW my receiver is a custom-built setup that was bolted AND welded in place, so while I don't have a weight rating on it, I'd trust it with anything, and has a standard 2" receiver.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated...thank you in advance! I'm hoping to put this on my Christmas list![angel :angel: :angel:](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/halo.gif)
