runaway parents Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Trailer saver Hitches powder coating peels off. Makes a Mess Other than for that Seems to work OK for me. Although I am not a full timer .I don't think it would last as long as a et hitch. Depends on how you are going to use it .full time .weekend once a month. It comes down to what you can afford.

Jaydrvr Posted February 17, 2023 Report Share Posted February 17, 2023 I have a recently new Comfort Ride 308 fifth wheel that'll be available once the fifth wheel is gone. It's like this one.. https://www.ptrailerusa.com/categories/specialized-towing/5th-wheel/24k-5th-wheel-hitches.html , but it's the heaviest duty one they make. It's on excellent condition and I can include my custom Jackalopee setup as well, if desired. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 We have an ET Senior, and like it. That said, we had a TrailerSaver on the old truck, and it did fine as well, with a toyhauler weighing about 21k. When we built the new truck, the difference between the two wasn't great enough to perhaps need to upgrade in the future if we get a heavier trailer.

mike5511 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 My truck already had a TrailerSaver hitch, but if I ever replace it, it will be with the ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenandjon Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I have a comfort ride. It was really nice and shiny. This coating was never supposed to come off, but it faded a little. It's better than paint or Powdercoat that will chip off and rust. First picture was brand new out of the box 5 years ago. Second was taken a couple months ago. It's not the best picture of the hitch but you can see there is not much difference. It's never covered and always outside.

nawaa Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Our truck came with a Trailer Saver, and it lasted 16 years pulling a 27K lb trailer before we finally replaced it a few months ago, with another Trailer Saver. Can't argue with the first one's performance, and it's now pulling a 30K lb trailer. With the 3rd airbag it's rated for what we had/have, and we're really happy with it.
