I like the heftiness of the Torklift unit. But it is almost $1000.00!!!!!
The Reese unit is rated for around the same capacities. Yet is half that cost! i.e. $250 for the hitch and $250 for the 48" extension.

So.....Looking for input about the Reese unit. I am only towing a 14 foot ATV trailer and two quads.
Input please?

I can only speak of the Superhitch. I have been using one for a litte over a year. The hitch itself is massive compared to the orginial equipment one I took off. It installed easily. I did have to drill extra holes to mount it. I use a 28" extension and a standard ball hitch, no WD hitch. I have been towing a trailer/jeep combo that weighs in at about 5600lbs. I bought a tongue scale and set the jeep's position on the trailer to obtain a tongue weight of 590lbs. I have towed this setup on mountian roads and desert interstates and no sway at all at any speed. I have run as fast as 75 but normally run around 65. I have towed over some the high passes in Colarado and it handled just fine. Hooking up the extension takes a just a couple of minutes. I spent lots of time reading what I could about the different hitches and went with the superhitch as I knew I would have the jeep or a boat behind the rig most of the time. It just made sense to me the way it was designed it should work well and it has.

I've got the Titan V towing a 7000 lb cargo trailer with a 30 inch long extension on a load equalizing hitch. Tongue weight is 780 lbs. You cut the Titan extension for the length you need. This has worked well for me for over 4 years of towing.

The Titan is a 2.5 in receiver, as is the 2.5 in. extension bar. Your 2 in. ball hitch fits in the end of the extension bar. I added 2 chains w/turnbuckles from extension end to receiver sides to help control turning torque that wants to push the extension bar to the side.

I went with the Super Hitch from Torklift plus the 42" extension. I tow a Jeep Wrangler every now and then. I did just get back from a 5000 mile trip where I towed the jeep. Not one problem with system.

Jeese you guys are giving me hitch envy! I have the stock heavy duty ford hitch and a 18" ext. matter of fact this is second truck I have had it on. I have home made camper mounts I plug in the sides and run a 18" ext off the back for harley hauler or 23 foot stratos hardtop W/A fishing boat. Been across the country and to Fl. several times with zero issues. (at least with hitch or mounts) I have been keeping an eye on it for rusting but looks OK so far and still feel safe. Scotty.

I tow a 3,000 lb bass boat a a Reese Titan hitch with about a 24" extention, no problems in 9 years. 48" would be getting out there pretty far. What tongue weight / total trailer weight do you have with the two ATV's?

I am wondering how you folks use a 24" extension with a camper that is hanging over by 4 feet?
Do you have a modified tongue on the trailer?
My ATV trailer is a single axel unit that is 5x14 foot. I have two 700 pound Polaris 500 ATV's and a 200 pound Honda 3000UI gen set and four 5 gallon gas cans.
Are you folks saying that the extension does not need to extend past the four foot overhang on your camper?

With the 18" extention and the trailer tounge I haven't had a problem yet. As a matter of fact I leave the motorcycle trailer hooked up and use the tounge as a step. There seems to be plenty of clearance above the bumper and I have not jack knifed yet. Scotty.

If that's for me, our camper is only 9' 10", so it doesn't hang over as far as the 11' 3" campers.

Dang! My 1130 hangs off the truck by 42"!
