Pro series hitch?

Towing a 1969 27' Overlander with f250 power stroke. I have original reese trunnion bars but no hitch. by the time I buy what I need I'm spending some decent coin on an old system I'm unsure of. Thinking about purchasing this setup, looking for thoughts, comment, concerns!

Good video, is it that effective and worth the dough?

No. I used it 4,000 miles and removed it because of several safety concerns that became apparent. Read on.

As you read on keep a count of those that are using this hitch and those that have some other agenda.

For your set up you will be hard pressed to equal the performance.
