Dec 26, 2017Since we all have different priorities, the best hitch is the one that serves you the best. What works well for some may not work out at all for you. The Hensley and 3P work great, but it might be hard to stomach the cost. The Andersen is nice and lightweight, but some find that it struggles with heavier and longer trailers. The equalizer works well and has a long history, but some complain that it's too noisy.
I found my Blue Ox the best mix of price, simplicity, and functionality. I've haven't had any problems with noise, sway, latching or unlatching. If I lift the truck high enough I can turn the latches with my hand. It keeps everything in line and it's a pretty simple hitch that just works. Changing the amount of links is pretty much all that's needed when it comes to adjustments. When it comes to maintenance you just need to pump some grease in the zerks. It's a bit heavy with my hitch head and shank alone weighing 60 lbs. But it's all solid steel and constructed well, but not a good choice for those looking for something lightweight. Blue Ox definitely stands by their product by offering a lifetime warranty that they actually honor. It's worked well for me.
