| Owners say | Ten give a model year that places them on a generation we cover: three Gen14 F-150s, five Gen13 F-150s, a 2026 Tundra and a 2016 Tacoma. Long-service reports run 10 to 15 years on one hitch and from 40,000 to about 100,000 miles. | Five give a model year that places them on a generation we cover (Gen14 and Gen13 F-150s, a T1XX Silverado 1500 and a 2024 Canyon); more tow with F-150s, Silverados, a Sierra 1500, Ram 1500s and Tundras whose generation is unstated, ambiguous or older. Three report five to seven years of use, two of them past 26,000 miles. |
| Our verdict | Steady sway control and real weight transfer for a heavy tongue; it is heavy, loud and wants grease, so check the setup with a tape measure. | Strong, quiet sway control in a light hitch, but it moves only about 30% of tongue weight forward; weigh the rig and stay inside your truck's ratings. |
