Most Popular Shock Absorbing for 2023 Subaru Ascent

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!

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

This Curt towing kit has worked flawlessly. The reduction in rattling and jerking is quite noticeable (compared to my standard hitch set-up). My primary use of the Curt kit has been the towing of my teardrop camper; logging thousands of miles already with no problems, and no problems anticipated. The only thing now, a year later, is that the chrome on part of the RockerBall in contact with the hitch has worn off, but this is not surprising to me. I am quite satisfied with this product.

This was a game changer for us. The previous hitch receiver made so much noise and we felt the trailer a lot more over bumps than we do with this new hitch. Highly recommend.

Everything I buy from Etrailer is always what I expected to receive. Haven’t tried hitch yet but I know it Will accomplish what I need it to. Just surprised I received all in one piece sent it was shipped USPS. Came to Alabama, sent up to Pa. Then back to Me in Alabama. Box was shedded but everything was still in it. This has happen several other times as well! Lol

Everything from ordering to delivery was great

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

Looks to be a well built hitch there's virtually no other 12" drop hitches short of expensive adjustable ones it's just about right for my custom bumper

Arrived today. Fast shipping, and thank you for that! Seems to be a quality ball mount. Just what I needed to get the ball lower to tow my trailer. With this, now the top of the ball is at 16" where it needs to be. Custom built receiver on my old moving box van. Just need to weld on safety chain slots and paint it. Can't drop the lift gate with the receiver in (its pinned on both sides), but hey....I can tow now.

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!
