There's a problem with the hitch restoring enough weight back to the front axle with heavier tongue weights (those who are nearing 1,000 lbs). When a full restoration of weight to the front axle isn't so crucial, as with the 3/4 - 1 ton crowd, users seem to be pretty happy. I like the idea and design of the hitch. If they fixed the issue with the heavier tongue weights then I'd buy one.
I'm using an Andersen hitch with over 900 lbs tongue weight. Going on six years, so far it has worked fine. The weakness on front axle weight restoration, is not a problem with my truck. It's true, the hitch does not restore 100%, but, according to Ford, my truck does not require 100% restoration. There may be other manufacturers (besides Ford), who don't require 100% restoration. Check the owners manual for your truck.
I think this has also been discussed in other threads. Do a search for Andersen hitch.
