Recommendations For Durable Trailer Hitch

[motorollow]

FM hidden hitch nearly sheared my bumper. Harbor frieght trailers are good. I have a convertible one with side rails you can buy. It's like this one that stores vertically. You can come by and look at it if you want.

For clarification, the trailer Nails was towing with that caused the hitch issue was not the one pictured above.

I've had a D'Lan hidden hitch on my NB for 13 years. No problems. Are the NCs that much weaker?

The HF 4x4 is plenty big for track days and such. I have a 4x8 like Nails posted that hauled 4 filled ice chests and all my AX stuff to every event for the last couple of years. It hauled a treadmill last weekend, it has hauled fire wood since Christmas, and a ton of lumber over the years. The only problem I have with the 4x8 is it will not fold up if you put a floor on it (poor design). It will tilt for easier loading.

POS has a 4x4 trailer I might sell you. It has diamond plate aluminum deck, the standard box on the back and posts for tires and wheels. Or I actually own one with all that and a custom air tank mounted underneath with quick disconnect for the air hose.

The hidden-hitch designs for the NC sandwich the hitch mounts between the bumper support and the trunk, but the sheet metal there is very thin and apparently of a brittle variety. It doesn't spread the load sufficiently and fails. The other NC designs mount similarly to NA/NB hitches (under the "frame rails") which is substantially stronger. No issues with those that I've seen, other than muffler clearance.

My trailer has a plywood floor in two pieces so it can fold up fine.

How thick is your floor, Nails? I think mine was messed up from the start. Without a deck, the frame had less than 1/4" gap when folded. I tried 3/8 plywood for the first deck and there was no way it would fold. Good to know it was just mine. It now has a 3/4 solid deck.
