Ed, The high price is not "magic"....it's function of an enforcable patent, and low volumes. In today's mass market, specialty trailer hitches is not a high-volume segment. Hensley hand-builds these things at their small local factory...if they could automate production in China, they could probably cut costs in half. Of course, they'll only get the attention of a Chinese mfr if they contract for large quantities.
Maybe Reese will bring out their own version when the patent expires??
