Most Popular - 5 Inch for 2003 Chevrolet Silverado

Used it for the first time today. Was very easy to get ball height adjusted for tag-a-long 2 horse trailer. The rubber no-rattle bumper pad works as advertised. This is a more substantial piece of equipment than it might appear in the pictures - rated just above the capacity for my 1/2 ton pickup. Appears well made with good even welds. I'm pleased with the purchase and etrailer shipping was very fast.

Package arrived within 2 days of ordering. The receiver, 3 pins, and the two balls were with package as ordered. Haven't put it to use yet but seems to be tough and very durable. Using the hitch for a 2005 Chevrolet 2500 gas, hitch has plenty of drop and rise for stock suspension. So far very pleased with this item from etrailer and with other items I have purchased in the past.

Gone are the days I need to carry three different hitches with different sized balls on them. Gone are the days when I, or others, walked around the back of my truck and cracked their shin on a protruding trailer hitch. I keep this folded up in front of the drop where it's not going to catch anyone by surprise. When I'm ready to use it, I simply pull two pins out which allows it to drop free and rotate out. I choose the height I need and install the two pins/clips. To rotate the balls, again simply pull the third pin and rotate to desired size. It was more than I wanted to spend at the time but since I'm glad I spent the money.

Using the 5” drop triple ball on a 2022 F-150 XLT Sport 4x4. The 5” drop allows me to level with a 5x8 Aluma utility trailer and full-size U-Haul/rental box/flat trailers. The ball stow feature is fantastic, prevents theft when properly positioned, and gives a clean appearance. Nothing poking out to dent my shins. I’m going to purchase two more as Christmas gifts for my son’s Silverado and daughter’s Cherokee.

Top notch super heavy duty solid Class V 18000# 2 1/2" hitch with 5" drop. Has some weight, but easy to heft with recessed sides. Married this with a 2 5/16" Brophy raw hitch ball. This is overkill for a 7,000# GVWR trailer being pulled frequently by a 2014 Chevy Silverado 3500HD 4X4 Crew dually with 2.5" stock receiver. Has also occasionally pulled several 6,000# wagons to the elevator. Have no major complaints, but there is a slight variant in size of about 1/16" mounted in the 2.5" receiver so there is very light feel when pulling empty. The 5" drop seems to work the best. This is the second hitch purchased for quick change out. Couldn't be more satisfied.

I buy items from etrailer a lot and I have yet had an issue with any of my purchases. This ball mount fits perfectly in my hitch receiver and allows me plenty of weight capacity left. No rattle, fits firm and the drop and rise makes towing any trailer easy.

Works flawlessly. I was very excited the day I got home and my Rapid hitch was on the front porch. It came in nice box and was packaged very well. I opened it up and unpacked my rapid hitch and I was very impressed with the quality and precision of this hitch. All of the machining was PERFECT and everything fit together right. I put it in my truck right away. Going down the road with the trailer on and off there is absolutely no rattles, clunks, or jolts. I also love how everything is aluminum or stainless steel, NO RUST. I wish I could've gotten the greaseless model but my boat is too heavy. My only complaint is that it doesn't come with locking pins. With a hitch this expensive I really wish it came with them. Do yourself a favor and order them with your rapid hitch so you don't have to pay for shipping in the future. Other than that great product and I believe it will outlast me.

Very well built hitch works great

Very strong and durable hitch. Elevation and dropping is very convenient. 2 big issues with his hitch. 1) does not have an option to buy a 1 7/8 ball. 2) even with a pin lock on the hitch, the balls can still be stolen with its design. If the balls are stolen they can not be easily replaced or cheaply. Overall, does the job, but once it is stolen, I’ll be buying something better theft protection.

Fast shipping from etrailer. Very heavy duty unit and perfect for my 2020 Silverado 2500HD. I needed an adjustable drop hitch and this unit works perfectly between different trailers that I tow.

Item was described very well. Shipping was fast as well. The ease of changing the ball for the application i need, and stowing away when not needed make this hitch the only one I'll ever own.

excellent replacement for chevys rusted hitch

20 lbs of receiver hitch probably not going to have a problem with it.

well over the hitch is very well made. The hitch itself fit great all holes lined up fine.The only problem the flat round washers were to small for the bolts supplied and you should supply washers for the bracket that mounts under the bumper because the holes on the hitch are pretty big , its possible for the lock washer to seat crooked. A trip to the hardware store fixed the issues. Overall were very happy with the hitch.

Looks welll made, but have not used them at this point.
