Description Overview

When you're towing a trailer, strong winds and highway speeds can make unwanted swaying especially noticeable.

About GEN-Y Hitch

Gen-Y Hitch is a company built out of necessity. For anyone with a truck that obviously uses it to tow at least some kind of trailer, determining the proper ball mount for each trailer can be an unduly pain. While the height of your truck doesn't typically change very often, each trailer can have varying heights coupled with varying ball sizes. At this point, you have several options. You can carry numerous ball mounts for each trailer, or possibly you just call it "good enough" and have a trailer that is not riding level. Or maybe you're one of the smart ones and have an adjustable height ball mount that allows you to carry a single ball mount for all trailers. Sure, there's a lot of options out there, but most of them have inadequate load carrying capacity and lock in place by a single pin, meaning you get a ton of wiggle and rattle that is not only annoying, but also unsafe.

Gen-Y Hitch manufactures extreme duty towing products that are made in the USA and proven to be the strongest, most versatile trailer mounting system on the market. Lets face it, the trailer and its contents are valuable, and so is your truck, don't attach the two with a loose, rusty piece of garbage you picked up at your local parts store two decades ago, upgrade with the best, upgrade with a Gen-Y.
