RV FEATURE HITCH-EZY Sometimes called the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of offroad couplings, the Hitch-Ezy is into its fifth iteration. It is ‘hands free’ in operation and will hitch to the corresponding tow pillar at any angle – it has no inbuilt obstructions to smooth, trouble-free hitching. It consists of a one-piece body made of aircraft alloy, with internal bushes that require no lubrication. Its rotating lid defaults to the ‘open’ position when not engaged on the tow pillar. When the coupling is lowered onto the tow pillar, the lid automatically rotates to the locked position. The primary and secondary locking functions, required by the Australian Design Rules, both occur automatically. The Hitch-Ezy is available with a five-tonne rating, and it incorporates an important safety feature: if, for example, anyone rotates the lid while it’s on the tow pillar, it will automatically rotate back and re-lock. It’s virtually impossible for the Hitch-Ezy to be accidentally unlocked. This coupling is compatible with weight distribution hitches and, importantly, its low profile makes it ideal for 4WDs with awkward tailgate access, such as the Pajero. HITCH-EZY RRP: $700 (approx) – includes tow pillar, tow pillar cover, spacer for use with a WDH, dummy pillar, stainless steel handbrake and mounting bolts.
