SIMPLE, STRAIGHTFORWARD, WORKS GOOD. NEVER USED THE LIGHTS
The Performance tool and trailer aligner LED lights and yellow balls made it easy for me to backup my SUV to attack it to the trailer hitch. Highly recommend you consider purchasing this if you have a trailer.
Hitching my horse trailer has always been too time consuming for me. This Trailer Aligner is a great invention! I do not dread trailer hitching anymore.
Only got to use this once because it broke from falling off the hitch due to the magnet not being strong enough to hold its own weight.
The ordering process and shipment was excellent. The aligner could use some improvements for goosenecks but certainly makes it easier. You just have to work with it and figure out how to make it work for the goosenecks. Thank you for your fast shipping.
Makes things a little easier

Works like a champ
The aligner was delivered very fast. This system/tool at under $20.00 is an excellent choice over a camera system at $150-200. This is especially the case if you, like me, do not pull a trailer much. It takes some skill development to get the alignment right, but not much. I got close enough on my first try. Much better than backing blind!
One of the blinking LED lights did not light. I disassembled it and found the small, delicate wire contact was not aligned proper in the socket. Misaligned aligner? Fixed it and it works fine now. I do not expect to be hooking up at night, but as an early morning aid, the LED option is a good idea.
I was concerned that this aligner would not work for me because I use a 180 degree aluminum hitch ball assembly on my GMC pickup with which I move the trailer around occasionally. I tow on the road with a 3/4T Suburban with an all steel, weight balancing hitch ball assembly. The aligner is magnetic and will not attach to aluminum.
However, the edge of the hitch pocket sticks out beyond the bumper just enough to provide a steel surface directly behind the ball. (See photo).
I recommend the aligner to the frugal, occasionally tower. More frequent towing? I would go to a quality wireless camera set up.
Works great! I have several trailers, but I bought this specifically for my twin axle flat bed trailer. For decades I tended to just eyeball the load based on how the truck was sitting. When I saw this advertised, I decided it would be nice to see the actual tung weight.... Simple and it works great!
I used yellow balls to assist with backing to the trailer. Was very helpful. If you have a hard time backing to the trailer, I would recommend this product.
It really helps backing up to a 5th wheel kingpin. It allows me to easily line up the receiver with the kingpin.
Glad I bought it!
Always a good choice to buy from etrail er.
Really helps to line up the hitch ball.
Helpful for trailering. Quick delivery.
This works well & saves me from having to spend time signaling to my husband.
Functions well, but it would be even better if the camera on my tailgate was stronger.

Excellently! Now, however, I have a new tailgate camera and it is so clear that I have less need for the tailgate aligner.

Helpful tool
Item was as described. Fast shipping
They work as advertised and if I had an older vehicle with no rear camera they might be helpful. The cameras on my 2022 Silverado are fantastic. I recently borrowed a 2023 Silverado and they have further improved the trailer ball close up camera. No need for the aligner tool on newer vehicles.
Use them as guides when pulling on the trailer.

Work well. help me load the car without another person guiding me on the trailer.
These things are cool. I haven't used them yet, but I can tell they will make a world of difference when I back up to the hitch. The red lights are a great advantage for low light conditions. The order was quickly filled and customer service was very fast to address an issue I had with a different part of the order. I'm so impressed that I will happily order again from etrailer.
This item has saved my marriage! No more arguing with my wife about how she waves her arms around with no apparent meaning! Works great especially when at an angle.
These have been a quick and easy way to line up the trailer and hitch when backing up. We have a truck bed toolbox that is to tall to see the hitch and these make it an easy operation to get lined up.

These were great for the learning curve, but I no longer use them as I have developed better skills in hooking up.
I purchased this product for use with our small camper trailer that I will not be taking out on the road for another two months. I've previously used a wood dowel pushed into a drilled hole in a piece of wood placed on the ground next to the trailer hitch and then opened the liftgate on my Jeep and backed up until I hit the dowel. This usually got me within a couple of inches left or right of where I needed to be and I could push the trailer tongue over the hitch ball. I think this inexpensive product should improve on the accuracy I got with the dowel. The magnets are very strong and hold firmly on the vehicle hitch and trailer tongue. The flashing LEDs are an added benefit for backing up in the dark. Be careful not to unscrew the base of an LED too far when turning it off as the 3 button batteries and a small spring will fall out. The threaded base in each of the yellow balls doesn't look very robust so don't over tighten it. However, if the threads broke off you could still use these balls or any similar light weight balls with a small hole in them. This is an inexpensive product that's definitely worth trying.

Simple to use product that works for me. I open the back of my Jeep, put the magnetic alignment rods on the vehicle
Well let’s start off with this worked great. The led lights were a nice add-on and I even used them once for one night hookup. That being said, I’d forgotten I had them. Because using them for awhile, I got the feel of hooking up my trailer and now it’s very routine. I know where my alignment points are and it because I used the hitch alignment balls to develop the skills to do it without help. OK once in awhile everyone has a bad day, tge stars don’t align and Gods screwing with you and you can’t get that trailer lined up to save your life ( and usually it’s raining or snowing or it’s like 180 degrees outside). But mostly it’s a great investment. Oh piece of advice; with the trailer hooked up decide where the markers are easily seen and line up from the drivers seat. Not straight on. Slightly angled toward driver.

To be honest don’t use it all that often. Like I said in original review. It’s a great learning tool. And I still start using it when I have to hook up a new trailer. Basically it gives you muscle memory. And you learn where your pivot points are. I’ve even used it on my plow. To line up my hitch points. This is a very good item to keep around. And if you are having a crap day and can’t line it up. Break out the lineup balls. Or lights at night I keep it in my Jeep so I always know where it is. Plus that’s my plow vehicle snd the plow lineup in the cold is a bear. Remember to line this up to drivers position not dead center. Once I was hooked up I marked the position for the next time I need it. So my review is this is a great tool, and you should keep it handy. And this reminded me to check the batteries in the lights just in case
