Pros
- Rated 30,000 lb with a 7,000 lb pin weight, enough for the heaviest toy haulers
- Handle resets itself after uncoupling, so it is ready for the next hookup
- Three position indicator shows whether the hitch is coupled, open or ready to tow
- Limited lifetime warranty
Cons
- At about 130 lb with legs, removing it is a two person job
- Long beds only; CURT sells no slider for it
- Rails or a puck kit cost extra
