I have a Bushtec hitch on my UC. It is a well built hitch that is well designed. Haven't had any issues with it. I have read somewhere where some folks were having issues with the Kury hitch however.

I knew to stay away from the Kury hitch for I had heard the same thing as well. I am going to use the Kury adapter to the hitch that allows me to use the safety hooks on one side and the lighting coupler on the other with the ball in between them.

Whoa! Please let me know about the issues being experienced with the Kury hitch!

I have about 15k miles on my Kury hitch and if there is a problem, I would like to know so that I can resolve it or switch it out for another.

TIA

I love the hitch doctor with removable bar. I had a hard time justifying $300 but it is a quality piece and not having the ball on all the time looks better. Mike

I went with McHitch. It's a hi quality receiver with removable ball. On top of that, it costs about $185 as compared to Bushtech's $365.

I've got the Bushtec hitch, but then I pull a Bushtec trailer, both are top of the line in my opinion.
