> 3 dayI think the quality is good for the price. There are better made draw bars for higher prices but, the difference would be mainly cosmetic. From the photos, it appears that the Curt brand is angled on the vertical part. Im not sure why this would be an advantage but, its worth noting if that makes a difference to you. This item has labels/stickers that even cover the hitch pin hole. These labels are easily removable. The easiest and neatest way to remove them is to heat the draw bar to around 100F which is not too hot to handle and will not affect the powder coating. At this temperature, the labels will peel off easily without leaving a residue behind. This heating can be done a numbers of ways such as a heat gun, hair dryer, oven, inside a hot automobile or even in direct sun on a hot day. Dont use a direct flame and dont heat to a temperature that will damage the coating. Around 100F is all that is required.

> 3 dayHeavy duty with a heavier tongue weight capacity than most. Just slightly longer between pin and welds than most, so anti-rattle devices fit A reliable brand that has been in the trailering biz for many many years Recommended

Greater than one weekThe hitch I received was slightly used. Clear marks where a ball had been installed and the lock washer cut through the paint. Also had marks from being inside a hitch. I have a Curt brand hitch and the ball mount has a bit of play or slop. It rattles a bit more than other brands, but aside from that, it works like it should. Im not a fan of the extra noise while towing. I am disappointed that the one I got was used.

> 3 dayThe product shipped here is in fact the Reese #21347 However, Amazon has all of the WRONG Details Listed in the Description for the #21347 The actual Specs are: Length: 9.5 Drop: 8 Rise: 6.75 Mounting Hole: 1 Class: III Capacity: 5,000 Lbs Fits: 2 X 2 Hitch Receiver Here is what Amazon has in the Description (So Just Disregard, and go off the info I listed above) -Reese Towpower 21347 8 Draw Bar (Not Sure what this means - Perhaps 8 DROP) -Features a 6,000 pound gross towing capacity (Its Actually 5,000 Lbs) -Rise of 2-3/4 inch and drop of 4 inch to adjust trailer level (Its Actually 6.75 Rise & 8 Drop) -Shank length of 11 inch allows for more turning clearance from bumper to trailer frame (Its Actually 9.5) -Powder coated for a durable and weather resistant finish (OK - Amazon Got this one right!) I was hesitant to buy this, because I needed and 8 Drop, and the description stated that it was only a 4 drop. So I wasnt sure what I was going to get (the #21347 or some other receiver with a 4 drop) I had to take a gamble, but it worked out OK.....Hopefully, this clarifies for others what you are getting!

Greater than one weekBought this as a replacement for my Curtis draw bar which got stolen from my backyard. The Curtis had a 10 drop which perfectly leveled my trailer. This is not heavy duty like the Curtis, but ill never know because my utility trailer is medium duty. ill be upgrading to 35 tires soon. And ill be missing the extra 2 drop even more. Otherwise perfectly fine.
