- (mrtruck.com/po...) Australian Outback Super Hitch. Giant universal joint and a single blade style weight distribution hitch. The WDH looks easy to use and adjust. Never seen anything like it. Made for climbing mountains with a trailer.

Everyone in here complaining about the quality of the vid or the interview, you should just be saying thank you for the free content.
Thanks
"I can't speak Australian, I have no idea what he's saying" -- damn, man.... throwing some real shade at that gentleman
Can you really not understand him?
Our accent isn't that hard to understand surely?? 😀
The automatic RUclips captions are amusing - it's having difficulty with the accent.
The guy being interviewed was great, the interviewer was very amateur! Cool hitch though!
It was the end of the day of a very long week, I was tired. It is a cool hitch
Being tired is no excuse for insulting the manufacturing representative!
@@jofus3604 There was no insult
WOW! That’s the most amazing, hitch system I’ve ever seen! This will work WONDERFUL with our 32’ airstream, OR taking the cabin cruiser to the Lake, or Ocean!
What an amazing setup. Alot of thought and engineering went into that product. Love it.
It's unusual
He's saying 1,200 lbs when he means 12,000 lbs.
SinCity Cyrus 1200 pound tongue weight
@@johnconsentino8124 So then the other one is 7800 pound tongue weight? Naw mate, he's means 12,000.
schwazman1 lol
Many caravans have ther manual or electric jacks centered on the A frame, behind the hitch. This then means the new style Lovells weight distribution bar underneath will not fit...
"Look at the size of those nuts!!! Those are some huge nuts!!!" LOL!!!!!
This looks like a very interesting piece of equipment.
thats what she said
That seems to be a great setup for towing offroad
I’ll just stick with my 15T pintle hook and swivel Lunette ring for off road towing.
Steve J the advantage is it is quiet, USA is like Oz with big distances but Oz has big distances of nothing between, who wants to hear rattles for that amount of time.
I'm down for new inventions, but good luck when u go across a rail road track in a rural area, another flaw I noticed, timing I'm sure timing of connect and disconnect maybe more or same did, and weight, that thing looks like it's close to 300lbs alone, maybe suitable for construction work and hotshot other wise nice invention
With today’s technology in video equipment and video editing this video was posted recently but the editing seems like it was done in 1990 , time to step it up Mr Truck , get some tips from your buddies at TFL !
So what go watch Netflix mate the information was put across.
Who cares? I just care about the info...as long as camera is steady, we are good!
Rolfe Acres I think what you meant to say was thank you for the free content.
Full HD video and a steady camera, no massive silent gaps. What more do you want
The audio was atrocious!
never interrupt
I like that hitch system, seen a set up similar on 4 wheel Australia. Where they have the nicer diesel rigs.
cruisemaster.com.au/cruisemaster-do35/
this is the hitch on the majority of AUS of raod camper trailers and vans
I’m not so sure about that lip on the pin. It’s a wear area and it’s not very thick. I’m thinking that it wouldn’t be to hard to put enough torque on that pin to break a piece of that lip off
Wondering whether it has met whatever US Federal qualifications or certifications are imposed on towing equipment.
There are none. There are VESA and SAE test standards, and essentially all towing equipment is advertised as meeting those standards, but I've never heard of a federally required standard in either the United States or Canada.
Absolutely brilliant hitches.
I have one of the Haul Ace units in my camper trailer and it's far superior to any other I've used or seen for off road towing.
Thanks for sharing
That’s an awesome system
Good-looking system the guy with the microphones a little annoying though he does not pay attention overall the hitch is nice I like it
Interviewer “those are some big nuts” or “cool” or “that is so cool” smh.
Would be nice to have but Wisconsin weather would freeze that turn thing soild and you would be very on happy.
i doubt it considering your car wheels don't freeze up solid in that weather, they use a sealed bearing.
Wow $500? That seems awful cheap for what it is. You pay $250-300 for a quality “rapidhitch”. I may just try one out for fun.
I know I was thinking 1500 but also was thinking more the wd one.
Agreed, that's a very reasonable price for what it is
I think the reason it's so cheap is because they already have a steady production and fine tuned in Australia BEFORE bringing to America
Good video on a different type of wd hitch that is still affordable
Thanks
At the begining he kept saying 12 hundred pounds for the big one, 1200 is less then 7800 so after a bit I realized he meant 12 thousand pounds. That will extend the hitch length and not adjusting for sway I guess, but I do not crank the sway all the way unless it is windy.
Very cool hitch
The interviewer was a little too sarcastic for me. Just let him explain the product. Geez
Very cool piece of equipment. I would be interested in trying out the one which bolts to our US style couplers. Are these just prototypes?
I think they are production. Trying to decide if I should try one.
I feel like they would have way more success if they had made there stuff work on a standard type ball hitch.
The whole idea is that it is not a standard ball hitch
something like this?

I hope Mr. Truck gets one of these o try out on his channel.
Me too
The big one looks great BUT it appears it needs a different A-frame on the trailer. It doesn't work with a "standard" trailer??
Yes to use the wdh, you have to modify the trailer tongue
@@MrTruckTV Then I think I will stick to the Hensley or ProPide. Thank you.
There is an adaptor for us style hitches. Near end of video.
@@daviddavis7855 I saw that but, it looks like a lot of work and metal just to get the universal pivoting function. Again, I think the Hensley does the job better for "normal" hauling. I like the ProPride but it takes some modifying to mount it. It goes where the tanks and batteries are. Thanks for the reply.
This bad ass!
7:39
That's what she said
I like it
Wow!
At 0:42 you absolutely want to use ratchet straps to temporarily attach those ramps to the truck.
They will spit out and you will fall.
As for off road hitches; Lunette design.
Or Pintle hitch as some call it.
Simple, no bearings, inexpensive and used by the greatest military on Earth.
You did see the black straps under the ramps hooked to the safety chain hoops and the aluminum X that ties the ramps to each other?
@@MrTruckTV nope.
Video goes too fast.
Hot woman too distracting.
Perhaps you could highlight that.
Very common mistake resulting in injury and property damage by people not securing the ramps.
Perhaps you could showcase that safety gear/precaution in the future.
The ramps are part of a fucking intro who cares.
Ever used a pintle hook across a desert, or on a long trip it's noisy as shit.
If those ramps are annoying you will hate a pintle hitch on your holiday
Greatest? yeah right.
No better than the hitch used in ww2! In the desert to complicated
What's the point of the swivel hitch if there is a leaf spring on the bottom that can not swivel ?
Daddy hermanson once you go off-road you remove the spring
Yes, you need the articulation off road, so no WDH
can not find this hitch with the sway break anywhere?
That was from SEMA, they may not have them yet in the USA from Australia
WD haych
You should say cool more often .
Cool
cool
Interesting
12 hundred or 12k?
12k
Minute : 7:37
I've haven't seen them since at SEMA
Why no link to the hitch in the video???
It's in the video, the web address is Australian in the first 1/4 of the video
@@MrTruckTV Really, you couldn't supply the link in your reply?? BTW the correct link isn't in the video either....
www.towtech.com.au/
You won't get your trailer stolen with that system
only 500$, thats pretty darn good
I would like to see a 20,000lb gooseneck version or a 5th wheel conversion of this set up
Horrible audio issues. Wish it was much better to actually hear what he was saying.
Adds way to much length to the trailer tongue, seriously overloading the frame of the average trailer!
Adding tongue length reduces hitch weight, so it isn't the problem that you are expecting. But just use the version that attaches directly to the tongue, instead of the long adapter, if that's a concern.
Kinda stupid those bearings wont last
How do you know that?
jack daniels yeah they do
I can’t speak Australian I seriously laughed out loud they speak proper English mate
This guy needs to work on his north American terminology. In Australia every vehicle is called a car. In America every vehicle is called a truck.
I can't speak australian, Ihave no idea what he's saying. Could you be any more rude to him? Good grief.
I know, I'll be nicer
Lovells is worst products ever.... don't do it.
I see a American building a system that will work with a ball.
www.alko.com.au/new-off-road-ball-coupling/
The B&W Continum (a recent product from B&W, possibly since this video was made) is a similar weight-distribution system. It includes a hitch head using a conventional ball.
Btw, They speak english in Australia, the same english that is spoken in America.
looks a lot more expensive than a poly block and no real gains. Next.

oh no...
what wrong with this lousy truck at 036 to 039...
dont have 2 amber yellow lights on the rear taillights for turning signals...
also bad design with 2 white lights on the rear for backup reverse
bestamerica
American made pickups in the us don't have amber rear turn signals.
@@ralfie8801 in North America amber rear turn signals are not required (so lots don't have them), but many vehicles (including some pickups) have them anyway.
@@brianb-p6586
That’s what I thought I told the OP 3 years ago 🤷♂️.
Obviously if they were required here, our trucks would all have them.
OP was complaining about no amber lights and the presence of back up lights being a bad design, but I’ll be darned if I know why.
@Ralfie you said they don't have them here, which is not entirely true.
Amber turn signals are much more effective, because they are not confused with brake lights.
On the other hand, the criticism of two backup lights is nonsensical.
@@brianb-p6586
I did say American trucks don’t have amber rear turn signals because they don’t for the most part. Some did for a few years, but for some reason or other they were dropped, at least on most GM models. My 2006 GM HD pickup has all red taillights, but the turn signal bulb is separate from the brake light bulb and if I remember right, the turn signal is above the brake light so they shouldn’t be easily confused with each other. The whole reply was really about the OP’s nonsensical comment about them as if there were some international law broken or something because they were all red and had backup lights too. I don’t know where he was from, but I own an Australian made car and it has backup lights in the taillights like almost every other vehicle I’ve owned, my ‘66 Mustang is the exception, so I don’t know why he thought it was a bad idea.
