Has anyone used these?

The hitch really takes sway and weight distribution to a new level of technology and simplicity. I can't say enough about the issue of noise as well. Silent. I installed myself, speaks volumes coming from someone who couldn't put his kids Christmas gifts together.

Easy there, fella. You're still kind of new here. You'll almost always find the answers to your questions here, but there is also a certain amount of "conversation" that goes along with the technical Q&A.

The toy hauler community has an unearned reputation as being hell raisers. When we see a corporate figurehead like Ryan Andersen behaving so irresponsibly and vandalizing public lands (something that WE are frequently accused of), it's no surprise that members will speak out against the guy.

Personally, I support boycotting his products if he is that far out of step with his customer base and the natural resources that we all hope to enjoy, just like the boycotts we saw against Camelbak products when the company made major donations to the Sierra Club and spoke out publicly against the OHV community. I agree with anyone who votes with their dollars.

I can't speak for a lot of toy hauler owners but many recreate with OHV's and we depend on the continued access to our public lands for recreation. Some of us have been and/or are very involved in OHV rights and anything that desecrates our outdoors and reflects badly on the OHV community (right or wrong) is detrimental to our efforts.

Also not unusual for a thread to turn sideways. If this forum does not meet your needs, have a nice day.

One thing about people on the forum, they will speak out if they feel strongly about something. I can't say they are known for to speaking up if they disagree with somebody.

Unfortunately, thanks to the personal opinions directed toward Mr. Andersen, I feel as though some people who have had experience with his product, refrained from commenting. I was just looking for honest opinions, of the product. I was able to get some non-biased, non-personal opinions from a different forum. By the way. I did read the article about Mr Anderson at the Corona Arch. I have no doubt his apology was sincere. Perhaps sandblast could go remove the graffiti, send the bill to Mr Andersen, I'm certain he would pay for the removal. Then we could all feel better. Thanks again for the replies.

Excellent design. Easy to set up. Quiet.Blows the dual cam away in all aspects.

Thanks HVAC, I ask about the hitch, not the person. If we knew the scum that peddle stuff that we buy everyday, we'd all be shocked. How many people made Harvey Weinstein rich?

Not me, don't go to the movies.

However once you DO know and then continue to support lawbreakers then you support their actions.

Second however is we've totally high jacked this thread.

I have no personal experience with Anderson products.

This must explain why most venders are out of stock.

And he did this while his kids watched.

Do not need a hitch but his name is dead

Thanks for the replies. I don't know about what the owner of the company has done or not done, I'm more interested in the product. I am pulling a 2015 Livinlite Quicksilver 7x20 toy hauler. 5000lb/with toys & 600lb TW, 4000lbs without toys & 660lb TW. My tow vehicle is a 2017 Nissan Titan.

I'll tell you what the idiot did. He carved his initials in sandstone at Arches National Park.

Yeah. That was really bad.

Anderson and B&W have been such close competitors for so long, but now there's no reason not to buy B&W.

After the owner of Andersen was caught defacing property in a National Park, there isn't a single product Andersen makes that I would buy.

It is incomprehensible that the owner of a company that builds products for the great outdoors would deface a national treasure. I won't be purchasing anything they make, either.

Ok, I understand, he is a caveman.
