Which WD Hitch?

[Ynot4me2]

I have the Husky as well. I use a light coat of vaseline on the ends of the bars and the surface of the brackets on the frame and it eliminates almost all of the noise. The husky manual does say those surfaces can be lubricated. I bought the hitch from a hitch shop (not the GD dealer) and they recommended the use of vaseline.

I tried grease last season but it didn't make much of a difference and didn't last. I have a 3 week trip coming up in a month, I'll try Vaseline.

I loved my Anderson WDH when we had our 315 RLTS. Setup and tear down was SSSOOOO easy. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a long handle flex 1/2 ratchet and just counted the turns past pre-load. Typically I was 3.5 turns. If the trailer was heave I would crank it to 4. Very easy to tow with and very quiet. When it came to unhooking and storing, the only heavy part was the shank/ball portion.

As with any WDH, initial setup is crucial to good results while towing! And, don't let the dealer set it up, this is something you should be intimately familiar with since you are the one that will have to hook and unhook it every time you move it.

Don't skimp on the hitch, it will make a huge difference in your towing. I have an Equal-i-zer E4. Your dealer is very high on their prices. Make sure it's set up correctly.

Any of the better ones with integrated sway control will be good, but I'll never buy a product from Andersen after the owner decided to desecrate several monuments in national parks and monuments and turn them into billboards.

Just curious how your 1/2 ton is handling the 265BH. I have one too and will be receiving our 2023 265Bh in a month. It’s definitely a long trailer.

DO NOT assume the dealer has set up ANY WDH correctly! None of the last three trailers we’ve bought were set up correctly. It’s your responsibility to KNOW correct setup anyway.

Oh okay. It is just an old post is all
Btw it is almost impossible for any dealer to set up the hitch as it is generally empty 9 times out of ten
My dealer had mine setup perfectly for my 900 mile trip home with it empty

More for benefit of a newbee who might get have seen it for the first time after someone posted a new comment.

@JoeSchmitt -

Whoever's attention you're trying to attract may not see your comment - especially if this is an older thread. Here are a couple of ways to accomplish that:

1) If you use "Reply With Quote" (to the right of "Reply") as I have here, folks will know to whom you are responding and that person will get a notification.

2) You can also tag folks using the "@" symbol and their user name (as I have done yours) - they'll also get a notification that way.
