We wanted the Hyland hitch on our van too, but said that it would be too heavy. There are other hitches out there, which in my opinion migt be better, such as the Alko off road hitch, which is what I will be putting on later.

Hi Molong Mick,
Just a heads up; I was warned off the AlKo by a few coupling suppliers / manufactures i spoke to. See http://www.expandasdownunder.com/sh...ious-re-OR-coupling-WDH-Paj-tow-vehicle/page2
For a WDH, seems the choice is HitchEzy then the DO35 Hitchmaster then the Hyland 3500kg (or AlKo offroad or standard ball).
For non WDH, the McHitch was best value.
On a different note, for us I like the tregg block on our 16 for travelling gravel/dirt roads as you can't hear the coupling ''knocking'' and it absorbs the shock transmitted back through the tow hitch.
Each to there own I can't see a right or wrong, thats why the forum is good to hear peoples diiferent views :thumb:
Thanks CR I meant more the coupling and the ball knocking, but those recievers are a great idea.G'day CD. Maybe one of these might stop the knock.

Of course these wont take a WDH. :smile:
Using Cruza driver as a witness, we take our 17.56-2OB off the beaten track and I know I have used the articulation of the Tregg/Trigg hitch. I personally think it travels better with that compared with the ball, and its very easy to put on and off.
