Believe what you want. Just remember the hitches are produce by the lowest bidder to minimum specs. I personally still wouldn't trust their design nor the way method of attachment. Just my $.02
Overvalued advice if you ask me, because you can say that about ANYTHING. Where do you draw the line? In this specific example, what makes Curt, or Reese, or Draw-Tite any less likely to be doing the EXACT SAME THING?
X2 as every one of those you mention shops out their material to the lowest irresponsible bidder. The guys cutting the parts and welding them together are essentially low bidders as they agreed to do it at the lowest wage the manufacturer can get away with.
I often scratch my head and wonder after reading this thread how I got away with using the OEM hitches pulling heavy equipment trailers loaded down, and I'm sure overloaded down at times, with concrete construction gear for years. All while being driven by non caring Gorillas who beat things to death, yet never twisted an OEM hitch up like the pictures in this thread or sent a trailer off into the woods or oncoming traffic.
Luck I guess.
