3,500lb. Heavy Duty Electric Trailer Jack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This jack is easy to install and works very well. My only problem is that I thought it came with an adjustable foot but in fact it is only a removable foot. An adjustable foot would be much more handy if you use weight distribution bars.

Curt Manufacturing 45822 Weld-On Sway Control Tab Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are no weight ratings listed for this sway bar connector and it's a bit thinner steel than another brand that I have already on another hitch. It's not totally flat on the end with the hole. Just enough bend that I suspect it is due to automated cutting or hole stamping equipment. I'm assuming that won't impact it's strength though and it's not noticeable except that I was specifically looking at its flatness. The photo shows a bit more chamfer on it than the one I received. In any case I further chamfered both sides and the ends of the weld joint (with an angle grinder) before welding it to a new hitch. I'm controlling sway on a 3500 lb tent trailer with it. If there are any strength issues with it, I'll update my review.

Valley 82200 Class III Receiver Hitch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've installed several hitches in the past and overall this one was straight forward and not overly complicated. However, some better instructions with better detail on the pictures would have been helpful in addition to a much longer wire for feeding the bolts into the frame tubes.
The rear bumper cover severely restricts getting to the holes in the frame rails and should also be noted. Also, for those that don't look at the install first, there is no mention of installing the furthest forward bolts first either, which is you don't the rear bolts would be in the way of feeding the front bolts forward into the frame tubes.
Once bolts in place, system fit properly and securely. Although the trimming of the exhaust heat shield was more trial & error even using the suggested diagram for cutting that was included. In the end, you may be better off just removing the heat shield as the excessive cutting ends up causing the thing to rattle anyway.

Valley 82580 Class II Receiver Hitch Element Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ok, right off the picture shows more stuff than you actually get. The $25+ value ball, bar and pin doesn't come with it.
Mine was handled a bit rough and it didn't come with the hitch cap. Got it very quickly.
The 7/16" hardward was short by at least 3 inches. When all is said and done, this cost me 4 extra trips to Home Deport and Lowes. Don't waste your time looking for 7/16" bolts. Lowes had 4 inchers in their spectialty section.
You really need a 5 inch bolt to make this work. Don't worry, the 1/2 inch ones will fit both holes.
The instructions said you'd have to cut some skin off the bumper. One trim was evident. Right now, I have a pretty good sized dimple over top of where the hitch touches the bottom of the rear bumper. Even after it was all put together, I'm not really sure what I should cut to snug this fit up. I'd like to see this kit come with a stick on pattern you could use to trim the plastic for a perfect fit.
On my installation, I had to twist the right side end around my exhaust pipe. It will go okay eventually.
I had the car's rear end ramped up about 6-8 inches so I could get under it with some space to work.
I used a rubber mallet to bang the sides around the frame on the underside of the vehicle. It was a real tight fit. If you are planning on using a socket set to tighten all the bolts down, I'd use a deep set. The 5" bolt will stick out a little too far to use regular socket ends.
Seems to be of sufficient quality. Price with delivery was fair.

Curt Manufacturing K-5101 Class 3 5000 Gross Load 2 In Ball A-Frame Coupler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We bought a used 16' heavy duty tandem axle trailer and learned the hard way that the ball coupler was no longer locking down on the ball. I researched ball couplers from the Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight, and a few other places. This ended up being the best deal. We had it welded on the trailer and have tested it on numerous trips, including 8 125-mile trips moving my son's household and shop. These were loads that required a 2500 diesel truck to pull. No regrets. And if you wish to paint the coupler, it seems to hold the paint well too.

Reese Towpower 44548 Class III / IV Professional Hitch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Reese hitch is apparently available for less money under several other brand names as well. It is well constructed, although it did get a little bent in shipping and needed some straightening. Installing it on an '03 Lexus GX 470 should have been simple and taken less than an hour, but the instructions are very unclear and the diagrams somewhat incomprehensible. My buddy and I fooled around with it for almost 3 hours before giving up. My advice is to pay the $50 to have a pro do it right the first time.

Curt Manufacturing 13060 Class III Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It came in a few days but i was shocked when i saw that it came with no packaging at all. It was just the hitch with the bag of bolts and washers taped onto it. Lucky it didn't get bent during delivery. The install took a few hours because i couldnt figure out how to take off the hangers for the mufflers. After that it took some time to fishwire the bolts and spacers through the holes. After bout 3 hours the hitch and muffler was installed. Im happy with the look it gave my car.

HitchHide Ball Mount Storage Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Update, Jan 7 2009
This product has failed because the zipper will no longer stay zipped- it peels open as soon as I zip it closed. Now, instead of a storage bag, it's a storage sling.
Finally- something to keep my drawbar, pin and lock organized; keep all this stuff from sliding around in the back of the truck and keep their dirt off everything else. Only time will tell, but the material and zipper seem tough enough to last.

Trimax TSC612 Disc Lock Dual Loop Safety Cable (Reminder Cable) 1/8" x 48" length Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is very functional. It provides me a visual queue indicating the disk lock (attached to the other end of the cable) is secured to my motorcycle's front wheel. One end is connected to the lock and the other to my handlebar. If by chance I were to forget about the lock, placing my hand on the clutch would immediately give me visual and tactile feedback that the lock still needs to come off. Bottom line: A simple device that can prevent a catastrophic consequence.

Saris Thelma 2 Bike Universal Hitch Rack - 4202 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Thelma 2 bike carrier last week (but not from Amazon) and took two bikes 650 miles and back over the weekend.
Pros: Very light and easy to use. Easy to assemble. Unlike carriers that strap the top tube, the wheels will not rotate into the vehicle or each other. Loading or unloading bikes is quick and easy.
Cons: The threaded hitch pin is good for keeping the carrier tight in the receiver with no motion, but a hassle to take off/put on, and does not lock. Saris sells a locking, threaded hitch pin separately. You could probably use a standard locking hitch pin, but that would allow the carrier to move a little in the receiver. Would be nice if the carrier had a hole or loop somewhere that a cable lock could attach to in order to secure the carrier to the receiver.
Now the dealbreaker. I assume that on a taller van or SUV, the vehicle would shield the bikes from the wind. But on a car, the bikes are exposed. I was very uncomfortable with the resulting motion of the bikes at highway speeds. I checked the straps and carrier several times and everything seemed to be fine, and I kept telling myself that this is what the carrier is designed for and it's probably normal. But after we got home, took the bikes off, and folded the front wheel holders down to stow them, I noticed that they had been bent backwards some, perhaps an inch at the ends, and no longer lined up with the rear wheel holders. I am taking this back to the bike shop where I got it and upgrading to the Saris Cycle On.
This carrier is probably great for around town use, or behind a van or SUV, but I would not recommend it for long trips on a car.

Rampage 8610 Black D-Ring Universal Shackle Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a handly little device to convert a 2" receiver opening into a strong attachment point for tow straps, cables or chains. All heavy duty recovery straps have sewn in loops at the ends, so they almost always require the use of a D-ring shackle unless your truck and the stuck one both have open tow hooks. With this kit, you get the 3/4" D-ring that can be removed and used elsewhere, plus the insert to make connection to the receiver easier. Not only do I have one in my truck toolbox, I put one and a strap in the trunk of my wife's car in case she slides off the road...then anyone with a truck or SUV who happens by can help her out and she has all the tools required. This insert is hollow inside, and the more expensive and pretentious brands are solid, but unless you drive a truck bigger than 1 ton I don't see how you are going to break this insert. Its plenty adequate for anything with a 2" receiver. I always use mine and then put it back in the toolbox, but if you plan to leave yours on permanently, it probably will rattle inside your receiver...it fits loose. I'd give it 5 stars if the casting were a little neater and cleaner, but for its intended purpose, I rate it highly and recommend one. Much more professional tool than looping your tow strap over a 2" ball and hoping it stays on.

Reese Towpower 44176 2 inch Class III / IV Professional Hitch Receiver Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Installed in my 2005 Grand Caravan w/ Stow and Go seating. Barely fit - took me a bit to figure out exactly how to get it in position by myself so that I could bolt it up, but once I got it, it was a piece of cake. Looks great, and has a greater capacity than this pathetic van could ever hope to pull!
