Reese has made good quality products for years and most replying to this thread are referencing those products. However recently they have decided they can make more money by getting their stuff off shore (read China). Now we are seeing many more problems than in the past. Yes it is still a small percentage but when shanks and torsion bars start breaking its time to rethink who you want to buy from. And BTW I use a Reese 16k hitch but it was made before the quality problems began. Jmo
Also if your not seeing problems, your not looking very hard.
