Andersen Hitches6" Drop/Rise | Adjustable Rapid Hitch with 2x2-5/16 inch Greaseless AlumiBall | FIfth Wheel Trailer Hitch | Tow Accessories | 3405

I am pulling a 12' 54" vnose trailer everyday, for 3 months and it is holding up well. I do have one complaint, when it gets cold (-10f) it is very hard to get the pins out because the aluminum shrinks, I have greased the hell out of the pins and it helps but doesn't cure it. You have to hammer the pin out. I gave it 5 stars because that just means it's a good fit and won't get sloppy for a while...but it's not fun in -10 to be fighting with a solid chunk of aluminum. My other complaint is I can't find a lock that will hold up to salt and the winter, the trimax lock is complete garbage in the winter. This should change because a lot of newer trucks have this bigger lock, so I expect manufactures to design something better. My other complaint is how low the ball hangs...I have to keep it on the lowest setting for my trailer and a 2500HD GMC, so then the 2" ball hangs very very close to the ground. It doesn't hit the ground as much as I thought it would, but it does become a problem. The pros are obvious so I won't mention them.*Update 2 year. I haven't had any issues with it. I was afraid of the aluminum becoming sloppy but it hasn't. I am very happy with it and being able to change height has came in handy many times especially when I load the trailer and truck down with 6,000 lbs and have to change the height! I pull my trailer almost daily.*Update 4 year. I ended up taking this off my truck and putting it on my tahoe and bought a new one for my truck since I liked it so much! After 4 years it still works great. I ended up buying the andersen lock for it and that fixed the pin problem and seems like a great lock.

This thing is awesome. I towed a loaded 10k GVWR 24' car hauler over 3000 miles from Georgia to Tennesee to California with nothing but this and a Chevy 2500. It went like a champ, never once felt like it 'wasn't strong enough' and it had/got no bend at all. Adjusts super easily if you don't have an adapter sleeve, and even with the adapter you can use every level, you just can't slide the ball down easily for the top 2-3 levels without removing the locks to slide the hitch out some. Still love it. My grandfather saw this hitch and started to tell me the story of my uncles boat bending an aluminum hitch. I had to let him know to look a little closer, this is solid aluminum, not some manufactured glued together piece of Chinese crap.If you want a hitch for light to 'medium' duty this is the one. I would note that the first time I ordered they sent me a hitch with a 1 7/8" slash 2" ball, so those are available.Update: its over a year later and I still using this bad boy. Its great and looks just like new except the ball. I have towed multiple heavy loads across the country and never had any doubt. I do kind of wish I got the greaseless ball, cause it would be prettier. The ball can rust if you don't grease (just in case you thought it was aluminum too, like I did for some reason). Either way, trailer grease is cheap and easy to put on. Or you could paint the ball if you really cared.The short: still love the hitch stays attached to my truck all the time. Still a 5 star product.

Just a quick review for those F150 users. I purchased a 2015 Supercrew F150 and wanted a nice hitch to go along with it. I utilize a well built utility trailer that requires a drop hitch - for those that like to drive with level trailers. I wasn't certain about the drop that I needed but I didn't want one with too much drop as the lower ball will stick down and my driveway will take it off if it's too low. So, I bought the 6" Rapid Drop with the Alumiballs and greaseless tops. The drop worked perfectly for my trailer on the lowest setting. I'm happy to say that it looks super sharp and have begun noticing all the other trucks with the same hitch. Although I can tell the ones with the steel balls because they discolor differently so I'm glad I got the Alumiballs. Also, after running the trailer a couple times I've seen no damage to the cap.The hitch itself is super solid with very minor movement within the receiver. The connection between the ball mount to the adjustable hitch is solid and there is no apparent movement. I purchased the Rapid Hitch 3492 Keyed Locking Pins to go along with it and I'm very happy with those as well.

This hitch has performed above and beyond my expectations so far. I use it regularly with my 2011 F-350 to haul anything from a trailer full of branches to a trailer loaded with 2 Polaris Razrs and 2 four-wheelers. To work with the newer Ford factory hitches I did need to purchase an adapter sleeve, because the Rapid Hitch has a 2" shank while the Fords come with a 2 1/2" receiver. The ease of adjustability, along with how tightly it secures in place after being adjusted, makes the Rapid Hitch a truly outstanding choice.I used to own a B&W Tow and Stow, and I was initially happy with the product. However, once I was deep into the Idaho winter, where temperatures would top out at 20 degrees for sometimes weeks at a time, the Tow and Stow became more of a pain than anything. The pins that you had to remove to adjust it became so tight that, at times, I had to use a rock/hammer and some form of punch to get them to release to adjust the hitch!The Rapid Hitch has never given me a single issue like my B&W Tow and Stow did. I am truly pleased with the build quality, aesthetic appeal, and overall reliability of this product.

It is pricey, but works very well. I’m hoping it will last a long time, “buy it once but get a good one.”

They are as though as they look we pull 10000 to 15000pounds and she lasted bought a second one old one is 16 years old and still working worth every penny

Great hitch and cleaned up like new with some polish after using it in the winter to pull my 24’ snowmobile trailer👍🏻👍🏻 I recommend buying the matching locks that go with it.

Great Hitch worth every penny. Great seller (PJ Trailers Canada Inc)

Works well for towing our holiday trailer and our jet boat.
