Carol -

Reese is a top-of-the-line hitch. I believe they merged with Draw-Tite a few years ago - their hitches seem to be identical. Between the two brands, I bet they sell more hitches than anyone else.

I consider Reese/Draw-Tite to be workhorse hitches. Plain-Jane, no fancy advertising, no fancy mechanisms, no cranking the tongue up and down, no frightening prices - just easy to adjust and easy to use.

And, yes, I have a Reese hitch, and have had no complaints whatever in the six years I have used it.

By the way, did you (or anyone) realize that you are supposed to grease the hitch ball and oil the springbar stubs every couple days of towing? I'm not sure why, but no one (including the dealers/installers) seems to talk much about this.
