Reese Duel Cam hitch assembly

[Bob Giles]

Would like to trade a 12K GTW Reese Duel Cam hitch assembly complete for a 7K GTW Duel Cam assembly complete.

Can I ask why?

[Bob Giles]

Sure, the physical size difference is apparent. I have two 7K trailers and I don’t think I’ll ever need anything bigger. I want both trailers set up the same so I can use one hitch. I’m aware I can use the 12K bars on the 7K trailers.

Dual is two, or double, but a duel is a fight. If you're getting sick of your fair-weather friend's dual personality, perhaps you should throw down your glove and challenge him to a duel at high noon.😊😊

Bob, we don't really know what the future holds. The day may come when you either go for a bigger and heavier car, and/or a bigger/heavier trailer setup. The 12K hitch. Holding onto the 12K may just be a good idea, at least in my experience. My first open trailer and lightweight equalizer also worked fine for my first enclosed (7,000 lb rated) trailer. I still have two 7K trailers, but also upgraded to a bigger all-aluminum model with a Pair of 6K axles. 

 

Of course only your decision really counts-

just offering an alternate thought as to the long term future

 

Best of luck either way

Thanks Marty. Happy Holidays to you and Dale.

I sold my 12k hitch about a year later I had to buy another 12k hitch should have keep them both 20 20 ,💡

When I bought an equalizer hitch, I bought the 12K hitch even though I only have a 9,000# rated trailer.   In my opinion, more hitch is an asset, not a liability.  I know the trailer will always be there behind my truck.  Just IMO.

Yeah, but lifting the heavier hitch to put it into the receiver gets old as you get older....
