Customer Reviews
More than a hitch: scultped perfection!
I purchased this hitch because it provides tool-free ball changes for all three sizes (1.875", 2" and 2.3125") and with the exception of the removable balls there are no parts that can be lost (pins). What I failed to anticipate was the aesthetic appeal of this hitch. Its simple and functional design is elegant. Its clean machined lines are beautiful. Only down side: I'm not sure my humble little fleet of trailers is worthy . . . ;-)
Reese interchangable ball kit #74309
Ease of changing ball size makes this a valuable tool. One suggestion for users is to put white lithium grease (available at most auto parts and hardware stores) on the retainers. This will make changing ball sizes much easier.
When used properly, this is a good buy.
Some other reviewer complained that the max tow was only 8000 lbs, when he expected 10,000. Here's the thing -- if anyone's trying to tow upwards of 8000 lbs, you need a class IV hitch which requires a bigger ball shaft and is designed for higher tongue weights. I've seen too many unsafe trailer setups on my travels, so buy what you need and don't try to overload the design. That being said, this set is fine for me as I frequently need to change ball sizes for different loads. I couldn't find the 3 ball set anywhere locally, so Amazon was a good choice. The only thing preventing a 4-star rating is the "made in China" label. I'm just fed up with nearly everything we buy being made offshore. It looks well made, however, and should last a good long time.
