I have only used this hitch a few times, having recently purchased it. I like to see reviews after a product has seen some use. Pintle hitches are a simple mechanism, this one seems to be beefy and well made. There is a little lip at the top of the hook you can see in the listing photo if you look and already know it's there, If things are tight this is enough to catch on the loop when you are trying to unhook. If you are jacking up an already heavy trailer, this is a 30K lb hook, and can't get free of the truck it can be frustrating.
I switched to a Lunette ring after noticing excessive wear on my ball couplers from driving on dirt roads every day. These give me peace of mind while driving, they are a more robust design and they are easy to inspect for wear when attaching the trailer to the vehicle. The only wear I see now is where the ring and pintle hook ride is polished.

60k pintle hitch product is as described and expected - seems very 'beefy' and works as is should. Separately, I was very pleasantly surprised when Etrailers emailed me the day after my order was placed. They wanted to let me know that they were able to get my purchase shipped the same day it was ordered AND that they 'decided' to upgrade the standard shipping that I selected and paid for up to an enhanced priority 3-5 day shipping. Great great Christmas present to a new customer. I will look to them again when I may have a future trailer supply need.
I thought that customer service was pretty much gone in this country until I ordered from E-trailer. I've never ordered from them before but certainly will again when I need trailer supplies. The product shipped out on a Sunday which was the first thing that surprised me. Then I received an email with someone's name, phone number, and email in case I had any questions. The day it arrived I received an email from the same person telling me that the package had arrived. To top it all off the products were properly boxed so that even UPS couldn't destroy my two hitch parts! Very impressed!!! Keep up the great work etrailer.

I needed a new pintle to haul my tractor. This one is perfect and heavy duty.
Product seemed well built, but the black paint was barely on it, looks like the pintle was sprayed after it was together so that none of the areas that are covered when it is closed were painted at all. I'm a little dissapointed with this facet. but otherwise it seemed to be in good condition.

Tow Ready Pintle Hook for 2" Hitches - 10,000 lbs
Easy lightweight and simple to use! The only issue I’ve had is the chain has come off the locking pin a couple of times, I think I’m going to get a locking pin to replace this one. I deliver motorhomes professionally and this has helped my pre and post trip times a lot, plus it’s so much easier to remove this and throw it in my vehicle when it’s raining than having to wrestle a whole hitch mounted towbar.
Works great and more than anything else, it makes me feel safe that the trailer cannot come loose from my vehicle. Lots of stress lessened when towing. These folks are great to work with and even helped me get one quicker than normal due to some uncontrollable circumstances I found myself in.

Pintle Hook Mount, 7-1/4" Tall, 12K
Bought this for my 2014 Jeep Rubicon to tow an M416 military trailer. The hitch gave me the exact platform I needed to clear the spare tire (with 1" of vertical space to spare) . . . and keep my trailer level. Also added the Curt Pintle Hook - Bolt On - 10,000 lbs - C48205 and again, the hitch allows the top of the pintle (when closed) to clear the tire. Both items I bought came expertly packaged in a stout box, quickly and with free shipping. etrailer rocked it!
Patrick, I would like to thank your team once again for recieving the adjustable hitch earlier than expected. She will be working on a 1997 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins. What a thing of beauty? paired with the pintle combo. The packaging was excellent for the given weight of pintle combo, adjustable solid hitch and Bulldog stainless hitch lock, great combination. Your staff is second to none. Period. We will be doing buisness in near future again.
