Trailer Tongue Box

I bought this trailer tongue box and it is was made with extremely poor quality.

I am not sure right now if I want to return it or exchange it for one like it and hope it is better. What kind of tongue box do you have and would you recommend it? I need a pretty big box for my winch and tie downs.

I think the short answer is return it. You can certainly get a better price - if not a better box.

I thought I checked ebay. I usually check ebay, amazon, and google the item before I buy it. I saw there was a open box special on this tongue box on ebay for $150, I wonder why.:scratchchin:

I paid right about $100 for mine on sale at HF. It is steel but VERY well built, in my opinion. They have 2 sizes, I got the larger one.

I assume you are using Firefox for your browser? I installed a handy dandy plugin called "invisible hand" that pops up price comparisons online. It's not 100%, but it works pretty well.

Mine is a Rubber Made. I got it at Walmart for $30. No issues.

I am using Chrome. I just installed invisble hand. Thanks for the tip.

I would prefer for it to be aluminum.

I have the smallest one they make on my 6x14 trailer. It is not the greatest but it is good enough to hold a cheap winch and some tie downs. I think it is lighter duty than their biggest one. I don't think the larger one is big enough for my winch and mount.
