Re: [A/S] Hensley v/s PullRite Hitch Systems
My Pullrite, leaning against the side of the house, came off a 90 Suburban when
I sold it. I had to buy another for my E350. anyway, once it is installed, you
can pull any trailer with it. ANY trailer. ALL trailers.
further, you do not have a mess of little, weak parts that bend and break as
does the Arrow. It simply has the piece that mounts under the truck (mine just
might fit yours! with a different draw bar probably and hangers) and the usual
stuff that you would find plugging into a standard 2" receiver -- like a Reese
or other. iow, the adjustable head with ball, the trunnion with torsion bars
(do not know why you could not use those off a Reese for that matter) and the
stuff that goes on a trailer tongue. oh, the drawbar swivels on a big bolt, the
there are two pulley looking things that tie the drawbar to the "rail" of the
"Bow".
iow, maybe 6 hell-for-strong parts to the Pullrite and a price much lower than
the Hensley vs the contraptions and many, many parts of the Hensley. Oh, and
you have to brace the trailer and then RAM it to get that stub from the Hensley
into the receiver on the tow. perfectly lined up in vertical and horizontal.
The pullrite can be off a few inches and still be hooked up.
no choice for me. it is like having a Russian engineered tank vs an Abrams.
one will run forever thru anything, vs the other that has to have aobut a weeks
maintenance for every 8 hrs usage. or an M1 garand vs an M16.
you get the idea.
