Reliability of fiver latch mechanism
I don't want to hijack the other thread about the poor family whose fiver fell on their truck rails. But his thread got me thinking about the reliability of the different jaws and I just wanted to...

The only hitch I've ever owned is a Curt with the double jaws. When open one jaw has to be higher than the other. When closed the jaws are on the same level and locked in place. They cannot open when the operating bar is securely in the closed position. I've pulled the same very heavy fiver since 2008 with the Curt. Got about 70,000 miles on it without problems.
I do have a BedSaver behind it, but I would have that with any hitch. :)
