towing hitch for new trailer

[Jack1776]

Purchasng a used coachman 2021 spirit northern ultra lite 1943Rb. Its about 24 feet weighting about 4900lbs with a hitch weight of 520lbs. Will be towing w/ a 2020 ford F-150 w/ the small eco engine and a tow capacity of 7300lbs. I am 76 years old and looking for hitch that is capable but hopefully easy to hook up. Thank You

If you're worried about weight the lightest I'm aware of is Andersen.

Get a Hensley Arrow or a Pro-Pride. Each cost a few $$. I purchased mine used on eBay. IMO it should be against the law to sell a TT without one of these hitches. ... :B .... :B.

NO MORE TAIL SWAY. I once had a wheel come off my TT while driving 75 MPH and did not know it until a car passed me and wave me down to pull over. The Arrow probably saved my life.

Search the posting to see other comments. I am 85 and not problem hooking up. A few tricks to learn. Most important is do NOT turn you steering wheel the last 5 feet when you back up to the hitch.

Equal-i-zer brand is a good one. A 10,000 gross/1000 hitch weight rated one will do just fine for your weight of trailer. Like any hitch it is on the heavy side. I ordered one of the hitch gripper handles to use to carry mine and it does help. I think the Equal-i-zer is easy to hook up compared to some others with the chains type.
