I own a Blue Ox and Im not real happy with mine.
The rotating latches are down right dangerous when unhooking if you dont have enough tension off the hitch. This can be tricky to figure out how much you need to raise the hitch at times when camp ground pads slope differently.
Ive been smacked in the wrist and cheek a couple times with the breaker bar and thats another cost you'll incur, a breaker bar and socket. The bar supplied with the blue ox hitch is almost worthless.
I have a heavy TT and a lot of tongue weight so Im using the bx1500.
Maybe this heavier unit requires more effort twhen hooking/unhooking.
Im to the point now of nearly having my rear truck wheels off the ground to hook/unhook.
My electric tongue jack is only rated for 3500-4000lbs I believe.
Im on the tenth chain link, this is where it pulls the best for me.
Now it does a great job distributing the weight and pretty much did away with most of the "bucking" I got on some roads.
If I had to do it over Id probably go to the Equilizer hitch and deal with the noise.
As always this is just my opinion...
