Newest style WD Hitch

Unfortunately, that simple setup costs a staggering $475 when you can still buy E2 WD hitches for about $232.

However, (and there is always a "however") I just talked to the designer of this KAAD Engineering hitch.  He claims he based it off the Anderson hitch, and he talked to Anderson first and told them what they had done wrong.  He says he's corrected Anderson's problem areas and has a better hitch (for about $69 on Amazon, and he'll send you $20 back if you write a review, good or bad).  After talking to him over an hour today, I'll recap some of his sentiments (your mileage may vary).  He said the anti-sway of the Anderson is built in the ball which rotates in a tapered bushing (which will wear out) to create the necessary friction.  And they use less expensive poly 'springs' which are not as good as real springs.  And their profit is almost $300 (the aluminum piece in theirs is the most expensive part).  His design is much simpler than the Anderson as it uses a stationary ball and anchor point and real springs.  He's trying to break into a market where there is a "sea of HD hitches... all based on very old technology."  So he's selling them for less than it costs to produce them just to get some out on the market, and he has a 30-day money-back guarantee.  Here is his website:

I'm going to get one and try it.  Sure costs a lot less than the traditional type.  If it doesn't work, I'm not out anything.

Actually the only difference between the two is the expensive aluminum ball mount on the Anderson and the cheap poly 'springs'.  The one I just bought has more expensive 500 lb springs on each side instead of the cheap poly ones, but the chains do look lighter.  However, he's an engineer and I'm sure he knows the strength of the chains.  He took a good idea and took the "fluff" (and cost") out of it and made a "better mousetrap."  Don't confuse the price of $474 Anderson hitches with better performance.  they both work on the exactly same principal.  Instead of using spring bars, they are using bridge triangulation technology.  I really liked the Anderson.  I found it first and watched the videos.  Then I found the price and said "no way.  I can buy just about any WD hitch for that" (but in reality you buy them for about $150 and don't need to spend $500 on a WD hitch.  The end result is the same with all of them).  Then I found this engineer that had designed a simpler one for a lot less money.  It will work the same except I don't think it has any anti-sway.  But like I said, I have a sway bar on my pod now so it makes no difference and would be foolish to spend $474 instead of $49 (it costs $69 but he'll give you $20 back if you send him a review, good or bad).
