Just had a look at the McHitch they do look good.
Only time I had issues hooking up with the Treg was when I was trying to back down a slope, PITA to get the height right. Luckily roofy was there to assist.

The ‘auto’ ones do look good ... just watched a video on them. I could be tempted if I ever need a replacement.
Quite amazing how many different designs there are to do what is basically a pretty simple task.
ROFL... yeah, I know what you mean.
I went the Auto because I travel alone and my Van rig is miles too heavy to "muscle" onto the hitch IE it needs to be all but spot on with the others styles.
People with lighter rigs or 'helpers' don't have the same issues as it usually means either easy peasy or divorce court...
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
When I first started looking at these "off road " hitches, one trailer place said why.
You're not towing up Billy Goat and a 50mm ball will have all the articulation you will need 4x4ing.
With the O'Brien I'm happy and only a one man job to hook up. Just a smear of silicon grease every
now and then and a few pumps of the grease gun, Probable would be better with two tapered bearings
but works a treat and for $150 very affordable
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I have a trig and a treg on camper and trailer. Work really well apart from hitching on un even ground. Then its a pita. I have bought a McHitch adapter for it and I think it will be easier as I can lower the unit on the pin like a toe ball. First outing with it this weekend coming up. I would not bother with the poly blocks now. Get something more modern.
Tested out on s trip during the long weekend. So easy compared to trig/treg. Was on uneven ground and easily hooked up by my self. Camper was on a slope so car came in at an angle that would have given problems without the mchitch.
