Weigh SafeAluminum Adjustable Trailer Hitch - Towing Hitch with Built-In Tongue Weight Scale - Compatible with 2" Receivers - 4" Drop, Stainless Steel Tow Balls, 12,500 GTW, 2-Piece Lock Set

So as you can see by the photos, and those are after superficial cleaning it looks pretty rough after just one month. I got this thing thinking it could just stay on my truck but I don't think that is the case. After just one month I could not get the receiver lock off. A day of spraying wd40 and tapping it finally got it lose. The key portion was fine and looked new, but the internal with the locking bearings where corroded and stuck. I scrubbed the inside with wd40 but it still looks bad and I am worried if I leave it on the truck it will need to be cut off next time. I will try using friction tape around the lock to keep out moisture to see if that helps, it will suck to have to replace the lock because I bought this because of the key match to the adjustment lock.Now to the adjustment portion. The rods look badly tarnished and the image above are them after I tried to scrub it clean. I don't think those pins are stainless, I will need to look into a metal cleaner. The pin retaining the stainless steel ball also looks as bad. The lock for the adjustment pins was in perfect shape probably because the cover does a great job protecting it. It is a shame that the cover is not tethered to the lock so that you don't lose it inevitably.Overall I am a little disappointed because I thought this unit would out last me truck lol but it's clear it won't. Locks should have non corrosive internals and all locking pins should have been stainless steel.

Very well built, machined from solid piece of aluminum, matching locking collars on drop hitch and shank is great for ease of use. I bit expensive compared to a standard 6" drop hitch - but worth the money.Been towing and trailering for 25+ years, and I know how to load, and every now and then manage to find myself very fish-tail heavy as the items I have loaded just don't quite fit into the trailer I'm using that day. Currently I have 3 trailers and the ease to raise/lower the drop is fantastically simply and secure. Lock it and know its not going anywherePerfect example in the photo of a typicla unbalanced load - very tail heavy - 13 fresh cut wet cedar tree trunks I'm using for posts on a cabin porch I'm building. Wet Cedar is HEAVY, and these 4-6" between 12'6" up to -14'8" in a 10' trailer show that my back end was heavy and I knew it would be once I loaded up. The scale on the ball hitch allowed me to (here is the important part) "confidently know" when the load was balanced by adding logs to the front of my trailer..... The scale told me I was fine based on load weight estimate and what I could read on tongue weight. The 55 mile drive home on highway I had no issues and no rear end swinging around due to poor load management (guessing). AS I often rough mill lumber, this is a game changer for me when I have boards/trunk longer than my trailer capacity.FOr a few extra dollars, I have safety on the road when I know I'm loading something I shouldn't be loading. Can't wait to drive my Kubota up on my 16' trailer and just drive forward/baclkward depending on what Implements I'm bringing that day. I have marks on the floor of my trailer now and they wear off all the time and I've been guessing by how the load rode - AFTER I drove it. Nice to KNOW before I get on the highway going forward7/26/2021UPDATE - after less than 2 years of towing various loads - I really loved this product. TILL the scale completely stopped working. It just stays at ZERO - I have no idea if my hitch weight is proper or not, and go "old school" and drive my tractor on till the rear end of my truck drops... Wonder why I paid so much for a scale now.... Emailed the company to see what they can do for me. Right now I'm grossly disappointed in myself for spending the extra money on this product over a standard hitch

Purchased this rather expensive 4" drop hitch primarily because when reading the description and the information in the "size" drop down box I expected a lifetime warranty on the gauge. If something is going to fail; I expect it will be the gauge. After receiving the hitch, I was pleasantly surprised with the apparent quality of the unit. All was well until I read the paperwork that came with it. The gauge only has a one year warranty. Further, when I went to register the product on the manufacturer's website, proof of purchase was required, and the proof had to be from one of the files on my computer. Don't know how other folks do this, but my "receipt" is from Amazon and is not a document or picture on my computer. Probably would not have bought this hitch knowing then what I do now. That said, it seems to be ok. Expensive with a (limited) limited warranty, but ok.

I purchased this product back in July and was sorely disappointed to find out the scale did not function properly right out of the box. I had chalked it up as a loss and was going to move on with a great hitch that just didn’t have a functioning scale. Well about a week ago, Ashley, an employee with Weigh Safe, reached out to me to see if I’d review the product. Upon hearing that my scale didn’t work, she immediately said she would have their engineer verify a new scale worked, send me that one to keep, and then provide the return label so I could send them my non-functioning slider.The new one showed up yesterday and works perfectly! I have used the hitch a ton. It is very sturdy, light, and the locking mechanisms are awesome. I am so happy now that I have this awesome hitch with a functioning scale!Word of advice though: If you have a stock height half-ton pick-up, like I do, go with the 4” drop instead of the 6”. 6” drop is fine, but it feels too close to the ground at times. Hope this helped!

I do renaissance faires, so I'm constantly leading and unloading my trailer. This makes gauging tongue weight quick and easyThings to remember: register your draw bar. You get a one year warranty, that's covers just about everything. My scale died, and they're putting in a new one, expedited since I'm only gone for two weeks, but you must be registeredOn the adjustable section of the draw bar, i put locks top and bottom. I might be overly paranoid, but if the lock on the slider ever gave away...All in all, I'm very happy with it

Feels like my car is an addition to the hitch . It is a solid piece , it justifies the price tag!!!I wasn’t sure to pay $500 for it but once it came on the car, I can’t take it off!!Think about it as a one time buy
