1) Desiring to change out all of my existing trailers & tow vehicle to Pintle
2) Been searching the web
3) As you can imagine numerous choices
4) So my Questions:
-Is the Spring Cushion Style of Pintle Hitch worth the extra expense ?
Parts Page
-Does the spring cushion help prevent ( Wear & Tear ) on TOW vehicle Transmission ?
-Should I incorporate height adjustment into pending installation ?
-Plan to purchase a 20 to 25 Ton Pintle trailer within next month or sooner so truly looking for any and all suggestions / alternative ideas etc
-Any other comments / suggestions are most appreciated & Valued
-Being I am starting from ground level so to speak totally desire to do it Right FIRST go
-Many thanks in advance
What are you towing for trailers? And what is your tow vehicle(s)?
