interesting , where did you get it and will it fit in a f250 with spray in bedliner and who installed it ?

I've posted this elsewhere before, but this is what I use to make handling the hitch head easier. Cheap, no worrying about dropping, and super comfortable to use. Also doubles as a umbilical/emergency brake wire guide. I leave the handle on all the time on my Equalizer hitch head. Though it comes off super easy too.

When I'm camping and I unhitch for off-road excursions, sightseeing, or errands, I will more often than not leave the hitch and WD bars on, just swinging them parallel to the rear bumper. The handle stays so it's always there.

I leave everything on the truck when travelling, not worried about it. At home, I do this....

I had help with the install but now, I can whip the hitch out after tying a strap to it by just pressing a button. The hitch can get lowered to a dolly then rolled away. I also use the winch to raise and lower a generator into and out of the bed of the pickup. It’s been nice to have.

what did you get if I may ask
