WOW! That’s the most amazing, hitch system I’ve ever seen! This will work WONDERFUL with our 32’ airstream, OR taking the cabin cruiser to the Lake, or Ocean!
With today’s technology in video equipment and video editing this video was posted recently but the editing seems like it was done in 1990 , time to step it up Mr Truck , get some tips from your buddies at TFL !
Many caravans have ther manual or electric jacks centered on the A frame, behind the hitch. This then means the new style Lovells weight distribution bar underneath will not fit...
Steve J the advantage is it is quiet, USA is like Oz with big distances but Oz has big distances of nothing between, who wants to hear rattles for that amount of time.
I'm down for new inventions, but good luck when u go across a rail road track in a rural area, another flaw I noticed, timing I'm sure timing of connect and disconnect maybe more or same did, and weight, that thing looks like it's close to 300lbs alone, maybe suitable for construction work and hotshot other wise nice invention
Absolutely brilliant hitches. I have one of the Haul Ace units in my camper trailer and it's far superior to any other I've used or seen for off road towing.
I’m not so sure about that lip on the pin. It’s a wear area and it’s not very thick. I’m thinking that it wouldn’t be to hard to put enough torque on that pin to break a piece of that lip off
There are none. There are VESA and SAE test standards, and essentially all towing equipment is advertised as meeting those standards, but I've never heard of a federally required standard in either the United States or Canada.
At the begining he kept saying 12 hundred pounds for the big one, 1200 is less then 7800 so after a bit I realized he meant 12 thousand pounds. That will extend the hitch length and not adjusting for sway I guess, but I do not crank the sway all the way unless it is windy.
@@daviddavis7855 I saw that but, it looks like a lot of work and metal just to get the universal pivoting function. Again, I think the Hensley does the job better for "normal" hauling. I like the ProPride but it takes some modifying to mount it. It goes where the tanks and batteries are. Thanks for the reply.
Agreed, that's a very reasonable price for what it is I think the reason it's so cheap is because they already have a steady production and fine tuned in Australia BEFORE bringing to America
At 0:42 you absolutely want to use ratchet straps to temporarily attach those ramps to the truck. They will spit out and you will fall. As for off road hitches; Lunette design. Or Pintle hitch as some call it. Simple, no bearings, inexpensive and used by the greatest military on Earth.
@@MrTruckTV nope. Video goes too fast. Hot woman too distracting. Perhaps you could highlight that. Very common mistake resulting in injury and property damage by people not securing the ramps. Perhaps you could showcase that safety gear/precaution in the future.
The ramps are part of a fucking intro who cares. Ever used a pintle hook across a desert, or on a long trip it's noisy as shit. If those ramps are annoying you will hate a pintle hitch on your holiday Greatest? yeah right.
Adding tongue length reduces hitch weight, so it isn't the problem that you are expecting. But just use the version that attaches directly to the tongue, instead of the long adapter, if that's a concern.
' oh no... what wrong with this lousy truck at 036 to 039... dont have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turning signals... also bad design with 2 white lights on the rear for backup reverse
@@ralfie8801 in North America amber rear turn signals are not required (so lots don't have them), but many vehicles (including some pickups) have them anyway.
@@brianb-p6586 That’s what I thought I told the OP 3 years ago 🤷♂️. Obviously if they were required here, our trucks would all have them. OP was complaining about no amber lights and the presence of back up lights being a bad design, but I’ll be darned if I know why.
@Ralfie you said they don't have them here, which is not entirely true. Amber turn signals are much more effective, because they are not confused with brake lights. On the other hand, the criticism of two backup lights is nonsensical.
@@brianb-p6586 I did say American trucks don’t have amber rear turn signals because they don’t for the most part. Some did for a few years, but for some reason or other they were dropped, at least on most GM models. My 2006 GM HD pickup has all red taillights, but the turn signal bulb is separate from the brake light bulb and if I remember right, the turn signal is above the brake light so they shouldn’t be easily confused with each other. The whole reply was really about the OP’s nonsensical comment about them as if there were some international law broken or something because they were all red and had backup lights too. I don’t know where he was from, but I own an Australian made car and it has backup lights in the taillights like almost every other vehicle I’ve owned, my ‘66 Mustang is the exception, so I don’t know why he thought it was a bad idea.
The B&W Continum (a recent product from B&W, possibly since this video was made) is a similar weight-distribution system. It includes a hitch head using a conventional ball.
