Last SEMA video, it's a cool unusual hitch & WDH from Australia where they know off-road trailering

(mrtruck.com/popup.htm) Australian Outback Super Hitch. Giant universal joint and a single blade style weight distribution hitch. The WDH looks easy to use and adjust. Never seen anything like it. Made for climbing mountains with a trailer.

WOW! That’s the most amazing, hitch system I’ve ever seen! This will work WONDERFUL with our 32’ airstream, OR taking the cabin cruiser to the Lake, or Ocean!

[@DM-tf6mk]

Very cool piece of equipment. I would be interested in trying out the one which bolts to our US style couplers. Are these just prototypes?

[@MrTruckTV]

I think they are production. Trying to decide if I should try one.

[@andrewj009]

Many caravans have ther manual or electric jacks centered on the A frame, behind the hitch. This then means the new style Lovells weight distribution bar underneath will not fit...

[@cdocker3070]

I'm down for new inventions, but good luck when u go across a rail road track in a rural area, another flaw I noticed, timing I'm sure timing of connect and disconnect maybe more or same did, and weight, that thing looks like it's close to 300lbs alone, maybe suitable for construction work and hotshot other wise nice invention

[@badgerpa9]

At the begining he kept saying 12 hundred pounds for the big one, 1200 is less then 7800 so after a bit I realized he meant 12 thousand pounds. That will extend the hitch length and not adjusting for sway I guess, but I do not crank the sway all the way unless it is windy.

[@rotort]

Absolutely brilliant hitches. I have one of the Haul Ace units in my camper trailer and it's far superior to any other I've used or seen for off road towing.

[@MrTruckTV]

[@vinmatrix76]

I’m not so sure about that lip on the pin. It’s a wear area and it’s not very thick. I’m thinking that it wouldn’t be to hard to put enough torque on that pin to break a piece of that lip off

[@fiji88jk]

Good-looking system the guy with the microphones a little annoying though he does not pay attention overall the hitch is nice I like it

[@bilmand]

Wondering whether it has met whatever US Federal qualifications or certifications are imposed on towing equipment.

[@brianb-p6586]

There are none. There are VESA and SAE test standards, and essentially all towing equipment is advertised as meeting those standards, but I've never heard of a federally required standard in either the United States or Canada.

[@jb685]

Would be nice to have but Wisconsin weather would freeze that turn thing soild and you would be very on happy.

[@Aussie_Damo]

i doubt it considering your car wheels don't freeze up solid in that weather, they use a sealed bearing.

[@machfive916]

I hope Mr. Truck gets one of these o try out on his channel.

[@MrTruckTV]

Me too

[@cltnchristensen]

The audio was atrocious!

[@specforged5651]

Wow $500? That seems awful cheap for what it is. You pay $250-300 for a quality “rapidhitch”. I may just try one out for fun.

[@codyk3881]

I know I was thinking 1500 but also was thinking more the wd one.

[@kennethduffield8684]

Agreed, that's a very reasonable price for what it is I think the reason it's so cheap is because they already have a steady production and fine tuned in Australia BEFORE bringing to America

[@NatureRecycleFlorida]

cool

[@Mad.Man.Marine]

I feel like they would have way more success if they had made there stuff work on a standard type ball hitch.

[@senyaw53]

The whole idea is that it is not a standard ball hitch

[@ronaldheller3638]

The big one looks great BUT it appears it needs a different A-frame on the trailer. It doesn't work with a "standard" trailer??

[@MrTruckTV]

Yes to use the wdh, you have to modify the trailer tongue

[@ronaldheller3638]

@@MrTruckTV Then I think I will stick to the Hensley or ProPide. Thank you.

There is an adaptor for us style hitches. Near end of video.

[@ronaldheller3638]

@@daviddavis7855 I saw that but, it looks like a lot of work and metal just to get the universal pivoting function. Again, I think the Hensley does the job better for "normal" hauling.

[@BJ-fw7sc]

Interesting

[@davesmith2733]

No better than the hitch used in ww2! In the desert to complicated

[@Iceaxehikes]

At 0:42 you absolutely want to use ratchet straps to temporarily attach those ramps to the truck. They will spit out and you will fall. As for off road hitches; Lunette design. Or Pintle hitch as some call it. Simple, no bearings, inexpensive and used by the greatest military on Earth.

[@MrTruckTV]

You did see the black straps under the ramps hooked to the safety chain hoops and the aluminum X that ties the ramps to each other?

[@Iceaxehikes]

@@MrTruckTV nope. Video goes too fast. Hot woman too distracting. Perhaps you could highlight that. Very common mistake resulting in injury and property damage by people not securing the ramps. Perhaps you could showcase that safety gear/precaution in the future.

[@Aussie_Damo]

The ramps are part of a fucking intro who cares. Ever used a pintle hook across a desert, or on a long trip it's noisy as shit. If those ramps are annoying you will hate a pintle hitch on your holiday Greatest? yeah right.

[@daddyhermanson9737]

What's the point of the swivel hitch if there is a leaf spring on the bottom that can not swivel ?

[@buffomarinus17]

Daddy hermanson once you go off-road you remove the spring

Yes, you need the articulation off road, so no WDH

Adds way to much length to the trailer tongue, seriously overloading the frame of the average trailer!

[@brianb-p6586]

Adding tongue length reduces hitch weight, so it isn't the problem that you are expecting. But just use the version that attaches directly to the tongue, instead of the long adapter, if that's a concern.

@@brianb-p6586 That’s what I thought I told the OP 3 years ago 🤷‍♂️. Obviously if they were required here, our trucks would all have them. OP was complaining about no amber lights and the presence of back up lights being a bad design, but I’ll be darned if I know why.

[@brianb-p6586]

@Ralfie you said they don't have them here, which is not entirely true. Amber turn signals are much more effective, because they are not confused with brake lights. On the other hand, the criticism of two backup lights is nonsensical.

[@ralfie8801]

@@brianb-p6586 I did say American trucks don’t have amber rear turn signals because they don’t for the most part. Some did for a few years, but for some reason or other they were dropped, at least on most GM models. My 2006 GM HD pickup has all red taillights, but the turn signal bulb is separate from the brake light bulb and if I remember right, the turn signal is above the brake light so they shouldn’t be easily confused with each other. The whole reply was really about the OP’s nonsensical comment about them as if there were some international law broken or something because they were all red and had backup lights too. I don’t know where he was from, but I own an Australian made car and it has backup lights in the taillights like almost every other vehicle I’ve owned, my ‘66 Mustang is the exception, so I don’t know why he thought it was a bad idea.
