..But I know that i would fail to slide a manual hitch on a dark rainy night after driving for 14 hours, so I went for the safe bet...
Yep, yep and yep...! My reasoning as well....
Better safe than a smashed up cab.
Yes it is heavy, and to pull it out of my truck, I use a motorized chain fall hanging in my garage...
A couple of times I had issues hooking / unhooking on non level spots...but found it was an issue with the spring latch/lever set up inside the hitch pin area that locks and unlocks the pin. Once replaced for some 30 bucks...good to go and no issues.
I too would buy another one of these hitches...in a heartbeat.!
