Outline of some significant advantages of The Automated Safety Hitch system: .
- Enables you to always pull your trailer level for maximum longitudinal stability and maximum trailer braking effectiveness.

Testimonial:
Here is the article on my website: http://fifthwheelst.com/automated-safety-hitch-system.htm This article will be published in the July issue of the Heartland Highlights magazine. Your customers, whom I interviewed or surveyed, spoke highly of the hitch system. Now I’ve got to round up some funds to get one for myself as well.
Best regards,
Dave
This was done by three couples who used to pull with a dually. One couple switched to a regular rear axle truck and the Automated Safety Hitch System and then two other couples, that they know, switched also.
The six of them are suggesting that we also refer to the Automated Safety Hitch system as “the new in-line dually”.
They have compiled a list of benefits from their experiences.
If you have a dually, we want you to know that The Automated Safety Hitch System works very well with a Dually.
