Anderson 3405 Greaseless Aluminum Hitch

[xrsman]

Well this came in the mail today! For fellow Canadians check out amazon.ca! Way cheaper than anywhere else I could find it. Paid $269 CAD shipped.

It's a 6" drop 7" rise adjustable hitch with the 2 5/16" and 2" balls. It's the greaseless version too so you won't have to grease the balls (lol) when hooking to a trailer that grounds on the ball.

I got the greaseless version primarily because I don't like rust, and the less steel showing the better lol. It looks great and it drops just enough for my dump trailer to be level on the truck! My little aluminum trailer is on a bit of am upwards angle but for a stock size truck it would be fine. I now just need a second locking pin!

Now for the pics!

With the dump on I measured a .25" squat on one side and 1" on the other. Airbags set at 35 lbs. It maybe have just been the lay of the land that caused the increased squat on one side over other.

We'll see how the hitch works on Monday. Taking my 25' cargo trailer to pick my new Kawasaki Ninja up!

Looks nice!! I've been debating getting an adjustable hitch but haven't been able to talk myself into it yet. Only tow 2 trailers and I have hitches that have them both level.

Thanks! I had wanted one for a couple years but finally pulled the trigger! I only ever tow with a 2" or 2 5/16" so I figured I'd get one that will do it all for me lol

That's a dang fine piece of kit.

Anyone know a good place to get the 2.5 x 2.5 version of this for the 2500 truck?

I didn't know they made one that thick, maybe amazon? Or you could get a sleeve to convert from 2.5" to 2"? That's what we did on my dad's F-250. I think the sleeve was $15. Try etrailer maybe?

I actually found this product afterwards while searching through the threads here.

Nice looking piece, but no cheap!

Rather not use the sleeve as this will be my normal hitch that stays on the truck most of the time, I use the sleeve when I tow my TT, but the WD hitch is only in when the trailer is attached to the truck on the way too and from the camp ground.

i've had my eye on that thing for like a year now but pretty sure the price is USD so it'd be pretty expensive here

Yeah the 2" is rated to I 8000 lbs, and the 2 5/16 is rated to 10,000. 1500 lb hitch weight max
