17422 Short Trunnion Bar Weight Distribution Hitch with Sway Control, Up to 15,000 lbs., 2-Inch Shank, 2-5/16-Inch Ball

It fit my application

Used for a 8700 lb travel trailer

I bought this to move 8000lbs of machinery to a new location 750 miles away. I have a 13500gvw tilt trailer which was being towed behind an E3500 express van. The load leveling and anti sway of this hitch, made what was to be a tentative trip, a breeze. When I was cruising down the highway I barely knew the trailer was there until I started climbing the hills. Even though my trailer doesn't have a large cross section, the van did, the anti sway worked well to keep my van inline when I was passing tractor trailers. The anti sway keeps the trailer and you're vehicle straight and inline regardless of which part is doing the swaying. Worth every penny if you're gonna carry some heavy loads.

Life saver! So much sturdier to haul my camper.

Packaging was less than stellar. Luckily I don't think any parts escaped, and I understand it's tough to put 100+ lbs of metal with sharp corners in a shippable cardboard box.. The instructions were lacking (and torn up to an almost unusable extent due to packing/handling). There were 2 extra bolts I couldn't find a home for on the assembly. The "self drilling" screws to attach the sway control ball bracket to the trailer were junk. They didn't look like the normal type of self drilling screws pictured on the packaging (with a drill-bit tip) but instead were like normal screws (just pointy) and one of them snapped off at the head upon installation (after pre-drilling the hole.) I had to weld a nut to the broken screw to get it out, and ended up just drilling and tapping the 4 holes for 3/8" bolts which is what I should have done from the beginning. Aside from the junk screws, everything else looks to be decent. I haven't got on the road with it but it definitely does transfer the weight as intended. It takes the rear of a 2500HD from an inch off the bump stops from tounge weight to almost level. Will update after some miles...

I was expecting the box to be totally demolished after reading the other posts, but it arrived in pretty good shape considering the weight of all of the parts. This hitch works great for me. If you are used to the tube type, it takes a second to learn how to get everything lined up the first time. Adjusting the hitch height was very easy. I've used this hitch many times this summer and am still loving it.

The hitch itself is great I have it on two trucks now but buying it online I'll never do again. The box showed up demolished and missing a few bolts and other small stuff. Main components were present though

I just recently had it installed. I have not moved my camper yet but the mechanic that installed it said it was a good one.

Great value.
