Good adjustable receiver hitch?

[Dutchmanaz]

I recently up sized my truck and now will need to lower the ball on the receiver hitch for my trailer. I've seen some with "indexing notches" that appear to be easy to adjust, but am unsure if that's really the way to go? Other styles I've seen use pins or bolts to position the ball as needed.
Any insights into the best all around style?

Thanks for this. I see it on amazon they have the drop I need, and it's a litter cheaper there than on their main website. From the Amazon reviews, it seems like a solid product, and "reasonable" compared to lots of others, so I ordered it.

I have a weigh safe adjustable, tells you the tongue weight which is helpful.

Here's what I have had for past 7 years.

I believe the balls are stainless as it's lived in my truck and has no rust on it.

Their products are not made in the USA. Found this out when I was looking for tie downs and straps that were.

I've had to destroy a couple of them to get them apart, make sure if you get one it's properly lubed.

I just keep a collection of different stingers I've picked up at swap meets and yard sales over the years. Only cost a couple bucks. I was even able to pick one up on a roadtrip from marketplace for $20 in a pinch.

Yes, company is US, some of their products are imported. I bought a set of straps, excellent quality!

I've got a B&W Tow and Stow on my truck and I've been very happy with it.

This is what I use. Works great.

I got the rhino and it has been great, but I see a lot more of the tow and stow hitches around. That seems like the go-to.

That seems like a complicated fix for a problem I've never had. What do you tow and what are you towing with that's improved by using that?

I tow a food trailer with 2-500lb smokers at the front as well as a Honda eu7000is generator on the tongue and the smokers usually have meat in them also and a 34’ enclosed trailer with a truck and golf cart in it.

B&W and be done. It's a cry once, buy once equation. Congratulations on the upsized truck. I think I missed it, what did you get?

 

[Bigblue&Goldie]

Weigh Safe is what I use.

Another vote for B&W, great products and great customer service.

What’s the tongue weight of the food trailer?
