Most Popular Shock Absorbing for 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

We bought this to tow our 3,000 lbs. boat with our Subaru Ascent with a 5,000 lbs. towing capacity. With the OEM ball mount, we could really feel every jolt and jiggle from hard stops, going over bumps in the road, and trailering down dirt roads. However, the dual cushion ball has really improved our trailing experience. Once we get up to speed, we hardly notice we are towing our boat. It's also great because some of the lakes we visit are down dirt roads, and the cushion makes this a much more pleasant experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone towing a boat or larger trailer with a SUV as it maintains that comfortable ride and the jostling of the trailer is much less noticeable.

A year has passed with my Convert-A-Ball Dual-Cushioned, Adjustable Ball Mount and I have nothing but praise for this mount. Once you find the correct height to have a perfectly level trailer there's no need to adjust. The beauty lies in the cushioning! Towing a Yamaha AR190 (3200lb boat and trailer combo) is silent. Even over the bumpiest pavement the tow is smooth. There is no harsh slamming when braking or taking off from the boat ramp. I don't know why everyone isn't running one of these, I wouldn't run any other hitch mount PERIOD! If you're on the fence, get off and buy one, you will NOT regret it!

It’s a beast! Installed it n pulled my dump trailer no more rattling jerking nosies etc, wish it was 20lbs lighter my only complaint, The locks could be better I won’t be leaving the hitch installed, the locks are light weight n I believe a hammer will break them off, curt needs to use steel or stainless steel for the locks ( body of locks)

I think overall it is a good product but there are some annoyances. To begin with, this hitch is very heavy. The package weight was 75 pounds, but the main body is at least 50. I can manipulate it, but someone weaker may not be able to. Setting the ball is also a bit tricky with the stopper between the ball mount and the riser. I was able to use my body weight to get the stopper compressed and the pin in, but it was difficult. One suggestion might be to hitch the trailer with the pin out then use the tongue weight of the trailer to get the lower pin lined up. This will not be a good solution for being on the lowest position, but it works for all the others. My other annoyance is it really messes up the back up camera and proximity sensor. Yes, I know I can disable the sensor, but the camera can't be moved which makes hitching alone a bit more annoying. I feel like there is a more elegant design so that there is not a bulge at the top of the riser, but I can't say for sure.

I just received the hitch and installed it but have not had a chance to pull with it. It appears to be very well made and is a heavy hitch at 118lbs. I have a 45ft coach and pull a 16k stacker trailer so will see how it does. Will update in a couple of weeks.

I pull a 22k stacker trailer with about 3000lb of tongue weight with a class A pusher with a custom receiver hitch that I had built for it. Decided to try the gen y after talking with someone else who swore by it. After driving cross country I can say it improved the ride quality dramatically. Worth every penny

Love the height adjustment for all 3 of my trailers suuper solid, I get compliments all the time when people see it "wow that things stout!" Keeps the trailer tongue from excessive bobbing, the pins it came with are a huge improvement from the standard Bobby pin style I was used to. Over all I do not regret a dollar spent and would highly recommend to anyone looking for an initial purchase or upgrade their tow life

This hitch is amazing!!! Be prepared though it is very heavy! I love how easy it is to adjust to different heights and ball sizes with the 2 common sizes provided. The scale on the back can be helpful to let you know if you have the proper trailer weight. The more you use it the more you will like it!

Awesome product!! Performs exactly as advertised. I have 2011 Ford F-150 with Bilstein 5100 shocks towing a 4,000 lbs horse stock trailer. Before with a standard ball mount there was occasional bucking on harsh roads and the ride quality felt a little bouncy. After test driving with this Gen-Y hitch on a variety of road conditions and over railroad tracks, I couldn’t be happier! Night and day difference with ride quality - you can see the trailer in the mirror gently moving up and down with the bumps but barely even feel anything in the truck. Would highly recommend and look forward to hauling my horse with it and expect it will be a smoother ride for my horse as well. When using this hitch, I would recommend adding a Roadmaster Quiet Hitch U-Bolt Clamp as their was a little play with the hitch in the receiver and made for a nice solid setup.

It was good to be able to talk with a person that answered my questions without having to wait. The item arrived as promised at a remote airport, it fitted perfectly. I have a friend who has one and it works to solve the problem with breaking bolts in the trailer drawbar we have a 40' glider trailer, and many people are using this product to reduce the shock on the trailer

Perfect, my second GenY Torsion hitch. Upgrading to the 21K from the 16K. There's not even a close second.

I have yet to tow with this hitch because I just received it today. Upon receiving the box I knew this hitch was not for the faint of heart. It felt like a massive hitch weighing in at 118lbs. Taking it out of the box I could see that this hitch is built like a beast and will likely be more hitch than I will ever need, but I needed a drop hitch and after asking etrailer questions and doing my own extensive research, I decided this was the hitch I should buy. I like the fact that it will give a little more space between the trailer and the truck, it can be used as a pintle setup if the need arises, and it comes with two ball sizes. Using this for my enclosed landscape trailer I am hoping it extends the life of tires and suspension components. I will try and update in the future after towing with this hitch.

I've had this ball mount for a couple years now. Just got home from a 2500 mile trip hauling a 2K# camper down I10 to the beach in South Texas. It earned it's keep on the rollers just outside San Antonio where the pavement gets super wavy and the truck and trailer gets out of sync. I expect without the Gen-Y, the trailer would have been banging on the ball possibly popping loose. Instead, it just bobbed around independent of the truck movement, really nice.

Excellent hitch for my sled trailer! When bringing our 5 snowmobiles up north with the open deck trailer, tongue bounce felt like you were riding a bucking bronco the journey. This trailer hitch took 95% of the tongue bounce OUT! The trailer smoothly rides down the road with little to no jerkiness in the cab of the F150. I will definitely recommend this hitch to others!

Got my new shock hitch, had my old hide away pulling my landscape and enclosed trailers until I got my new shock hitch when pulling my trailers you don’t even know that they are being polled no shake no rattle no jerking especially when you go across the railroad tracks love my new hitch

I can’t wait to pull a trailer
