Haven't used mine yet. Haven't done much trailering. Quality seems fine. Made in China. Only issue is the clamps for the trailer tongue are sized for a 3" height. My equipment trailer has 5" channel to the tongue so I'll have to do some cutting and welding on them to make them work.

You can get universal clamps cheap. They also have bolt on, weld on, and clamp on types like the ones that came in the kit.

I would buy others before you cut them up.

Yep, I'm sure they're worth every cent that you paid for them. Quality doesn't come cheap, and what a bonus, made in China to boot!

Just like that TV your watching, the computer your typing on, 1/2 your so called American Made tractor or truck.

Times have changed. If you still think everything you buy is made the next town over you are 100 years behind. Its a global economy like it or not.

I do wish we had more equal fair trading practices but facts are facts, we are no longer a leading manufacturing country. Its just too dirty. Manufacturing is left to developing countries then its off to the service industries. At least thats what history tells us.

Yes, and when I have the choice of buying an American made hitch that has a Limited Lifetime Warranty and big stickers "Made in the USA" or a Chinese hitch that has what kind of warranty?, then I'll buy the US made product.

By the way, do some research and find out that the Reese, Curt, Valley, etc US WD hitches, that cost $54 more than the Nissan hitch, come with the correct snap ups for ALL frame sizes. Not to mention that wherever I go there is a Reese, Curt, Valley dealer with support for the hitch. If you call that being 100 years behind then I'd rather be there than where you are.

Could you post a link? When I bought my Reese it was almost $400.

Go read this thread- http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/138062-reese-hitch-receiver-tubing-undersize.html if one thinks all Reese stuff is made in the USA.
I bought Reese and got burned pretty good with off spec Chinese crap....

Reese 66067 1200 lbs Heavy Duty Round Bar WD Hitch Camper Trailer RV

This is a 1200 lb WD the Nissan is 1000.

Skyco, you bought the "Reese" part at Tractor Supply, what did you expect? Go to a RV supply source and you won't get closeouts on parts that didn't meet spec. That part was probably like "Winchester" clothing at Wal Mart. You do know that Winchester doesn't make clothing sold at Wal Mart, Right?
