We just recently had a TrailAir pin box installed at the factory in Goshen, IN. When we got home I ordered a Reese 16K hitch which has the 4 way tilt. I am glad to have both and feel they are worth the money. BUT Carol is exactly right. They can only help, never eliminate the effect of these concrete highways. I think an honest evaluation is that they bring the effect very near what it would be without the RV attached, and that can still be VERY rough in a heavy-duty pickup. The contrast in highway surfaces is almost unbelievable. The first few miles coming out of Raton, NM on I25 force a slowdown or feel like risking tearing the rig apart, then suddenly as you start up the pass, the asphalt surface feels like velvet by comparison, and we find ourselves saying a prayer of thanksgiving. There are many other spots on our travels where we have similar experiences.
