Now I will be able to haul our railroad club trailer on level with my 2500 yukon xl, which is how it should be.

10" shank is great and effective. The finish has held up to winter highway chemicals. Problem with pin that holds 2ball mount to the platform. Has seized in place, so I can't remove in order to insert my other ball mount. Manufacturer advised to drill it out... It's a design flaw. If they warranted it, they should send me another platform and pin... The $4 pin has denied me from towing my large trailer. I need a new platform and pin
Comments
Mark, thank you for your review.The pin that holds the the platform and the dual sided hitch ball on the shank is part # TB04
Replacement Hitch Ball Retaining Pin for 180 Hitch 2-Ball Mounts
$4.23. According to weigh safe your existing seized pin can be removed by running a 1/4-20 screw down into the pin. You should be able to then pull the pin out or keep turning it until the pin breaks free.
