GEN-Y Hitch GH-1214 Boss Torsion-Flex 2in Shank 5in Drop 16K Dual-Ball Hitch

Vehicle Fitment

• Universal - fits any vehicle with a standard 2" receiver; not vehicle-specific, but drop height must match your truck

Fitment Notes

• CHECK TRUCK RECEIVER AND DROP SIZE BEFORE ORDERING - measure from the center of your receiver to the ground, then subtract 14" to find your optimal drop
• A verified customer review reported this 5" drop worked well on a 2017 F-150 but was too low for a 2018 Ford Transit Van - vehicle height affects the correct drop choice
• A stabilizer kit is recommended for drops over 12.5" (not applicable at this 5" drop, but noted for the GEN-Y BOSS line generally)
• If towing with a pintle ring trailer, use the 2-5/16" ball, NOT the 2" ball
• NOT rated for winching or side-load applications
• Tow capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component in the system

Features

• Torsion-Flex rubber arms transfer only ~10% of trailer inertia to the tow vehicle vs. 100% with a rigid hitch connection
• Smoother ride reduces sway, bounce, and metal fatigue on both truck and trailer

• Heavy-duty steel construction with epoxy powder coat finish
• Exceeds SAE-J684 weight testing requirements
• Made in the USA, backed by a lifetime warranty

Product Description

GEN-Y's BOSS Torsion-Flex combines the adjustability of their Mega-Duty hitch with rubber torsion arms that absorb trailer inertia instead of transferring it straight into the truck. The result is noticeably less bounce, sway, and rattle over rough roads - reviewers specifically call out the elimination of clunks and bangs compared to a solid hitch connection.

Rated to 16,000 lbs towing capacity with a 5" drop, it's built for contractors, fleets, and anyone regularly hooking up different trailers who wants a smoother, more controlled tow. Just be sure the 5" drop actually matches your specific truck's receiver height before ordering - the same hitch that's ideal on one vehicle can sit too low or too high on another.
