Every tow should start with making sure your trailer is level. This hitch lets you set your height with a couple of pins and lock it down. When you're back home, just flip the hitch under your bumper until you're ready for the next trip.
You back up to your trailer and realize the coupler doesn't line up with your hitch. Maybe you were hauling materials for a job with one trailer during the week, then swapped to your boat trailer for a weekend on the water. The Aluma-Tow 360 ball mount solves that problem and makes life a lot less stressful when you're facing a steep driveway or driving a lifted truck. Just slide the pins out, adjust the height in clear 1-1/4" steps, put them back, and you're level. And when you drive away, your connection is secure and you'll realize it was a whole lot easier to manage.
The aircraft-grade aluminum frame makes this hitch lighter than most steel mounts, so moving or installing it takes less effort. That build doesn't take away from its strength, since it's rated for up to 15,000 lbs with the 2-5/16" ball (just keep in mind the 2" ball is rated up to 10,000 lbs). Plus, the oxide coating provides corrosion resistance, so you can leave the hitch on through spring storms and harsh winters without worrying about it corroding.
If you keep the hitch installed, that shouldn't mean anyone else can walk off with it. That's why this setup includes two keyed-alike locking pins. There's one for the receiver and one for the ball mount, so everything stays put when you stop for lunch in a busy neighborhood or if you're unhooked at the campground. It's one less thing you have to pick up to round out your setup.
Once your hitch is locked in, you don't want to keep wrestling with it just to park in the garage or walk around your driveway without bruising your shin. When you're done towing, just pull the dual pins and clips, rotate the hitch under your bumper, and put the pins back. This just takes out the pain of handling it more than you need. And when it's time to tow, just swing it back into place. You really can leave it on all the time.

Quality finish and materials. Looks flawless. Fit is less precise than I hoped for. But this is my first adjustable hitch so I don't have a good reference point. Having said that, you can look at the design and see that you have multiple points of movement that form a chain - hitch mount/shaft to hitch mount/hitch block/ hitch ball. Each is adjustable so, each has some gap. All together, the hitch ball moves about 1" from left to right, less up and down. The capacity exceeds my load by 3x so i'm ok with it. If i was pushing the limits that slop would concern me more. Love being able to remove just the shaft and mount to save my shins while keeping the circular main shaft on the truck as it sits tight and is nice and round.
Quick delivery timeframe and serves as a multi purpose unit for my Toyota Rav4
I think it's the right hitch for my needs and is well made.
Works great. Easy to assemble.
Very nice!
