The biggest issue is ,it's a rail mount hitch. Most now are going to a puck mount system or the Andersen style hitch . I too went with the adapter just to use my existing rail mount slider hitch , but back then the choices were very limited .
Although I have had no issues with my Reese rail mount slider , I have since went with a rail mount steel Andersen for a couple reasons ,one no need for a slider , the Andersen gives me plenty of clearance for backing . The other reason is I can remove easily to transport my inflatable one man pontoon boat here in Montana to fish the lakes . Now going to a bit bigger boat , I decide on a small tow along trailer behind the fifth wheel . Now I can use either hitch I want ,but I still chose the Andersen .
