Thanks. I wonder if it's truly necessary to run power all the way from the battery rather than grabbing some from a local 12v line. I imagine the "black box" is very low amperage.
I bought one of these for my Ridgeline , which Curt claims fits. I can't get that sucker to plug into the OEM connector and it doesn't appear to match. More of a hassle than it should be.
I just mounted this today. 2 little hacks that help are to zip tie the bolts once you pul them through with the fish wire, and as you add the small silver plate between the hitch and the frame, use some double sided tape to hold them in place. Fun project!
Dude awesome video, I had absolutely no clue how to use this weight distribution hitch. And now I'm pretty sure I could write a book on it. Thanks, man!
I just did this and i want to go ahead and say guys don’t let “drop the exhaust”scare you. I sprayed bushings with pb blaster and they slid right off. And you can use a 6x6 block to set under the muffler so it can rest there while you finish installation
Thank you for taking a pic of the tools ima gonna need to perform this myself lol. Hopefully, I do a good job and not drop my motorcycle while driving.
The commentary says it all. I purchased a six inch drop hitch to tow our caravan, 3500 kg, in Australia, it is amazing the difference it made. I was hoping it would take up some of the shock, pitch, and sway on outback roads. It did, best tow hitch ever for the money and durability.
Great video and product. Question: Due to the leveling spacers, the nuts on the two foremost bolts are not quite flush even when screwed in with a torque wrench. Is this an issue? I'm not using this to tow, only for a bike rack. Thanks.
Launching is generally easier than retrieving. I learned by looking over my shoulder. With my back I can no longer do that. My favorite lake has two HORRIBLE ramps. Accidents have happened twice on the retrieval with experienced boaters.
Bravo on the concept, I pray you've got it right because this is the future of towing safety. I look forward to this being "standard safety equipment", especially in the travel trailer industry. There are simply too many people towing trailers that have no idea that it's trailer breaking, not tow vehicle breaking, that is the best way to prevent a sway event from getting out of control.
What is the weight of the axle assembly? Also what is gross axle weight rating (GAWR) of the axle assembly? Does a tandem setup double the GAWR for the trailer?
Just did this today! Did everything as shown in the video and it was pretty straightforward. Just gotta be careful not to use the bolts with the fish wire...
