I got a email to review this so here I am. The attachment to the bed in fantastic. I rate it at 5 stars and an it’s very easy to remove quickly. The king pin lock does not work very well after about 6 months of use. I typically have to reach into the locking mechanism to get it to release properly. Other than that is has not cracked, rusted or bent since I’ve owned it. I live is the high desert so it does not see much rain or snow.

We have about 20000 miles towing with the hitch so far and have had one problem with our set up. The hitch assembly rotates or slips around, I drilled a hole in the outer frame of the hitch and my truck bed and installed a nut and bolt to keep it from rotating.The base was rotating on the flat bed of truck.

I was a bit disappointed because when I installed the hitch per instructions, it still allowed a movement on the hitch. The hitch would actually move 1-2 inches when I would brake or accelerate the vehicle while towing. I researched and found that it was a common issue and some people were advised by etrailer technical support to torque the attachment bolts tighter. I did this as well, but with the same results. So as a result I don't pull the fifth wheel very far and am look for a solution to the issue.

Simple to use, great value!

Hard to hook up you have to be right over the hitch hole with the trailer pin or it wont drop in
