What are the best for off-road?
I have the old-style socket with trunnion bars. I am afraid when the hitch/tongue bends up and the tension is unloaded that the trunnion will fall out of its socket.
I know I could just remove for the off-road section, but, no.
Also, clearance is issue. Having the trunnion bars hang below the trailer can be an issue with clearance. Who has done dirt with WD?
I have this - is on old trailer in pic, but using on different trailer now. On new trailer the hitch is adjusted all the way down so hangs close to scraping.
I have TC and tow a single axle cargo trailer that, currently, sits pretty low to the ground (plan on straight axle to raise it 5 inches soon).
The issues is exacerbated because of the receiver extension (about 18 inches) that amplifies the movement of TV, up and down which, itself, has the hitch a good distance from the axle.
