They did and I had a couple of them too. This was my '05 F150 with the access doors. It was great for storing things back and they only made it for a couple years.

After seeing this I started searching locally for a 2007 or 2008 just like your pic. That 4.6 v8 was super reliable if I remember correctly.

I never kept them long enough (traded them in every 3 years for the write off) but while I had them they were super reliable. We use to snowmobile up in northern Maine and Canada and they always pulled my trailers with ease and never left me stranded in that sub zero weather up there.

One trip one of our friends had to back out at the last minute so my other buddy had no one to pull his sled. I put it in the bed along with my 2 place trailer and hauled it up to Fort Kent Maine. lol

Received a tire storage cover for my OEM takeoffs. It is designed for four tires but even covers my spare. Bonus.

Now, I can remove them from my garage where they are taking up space and put them in the shed…

Where I will never, ever see or use them again…

Way stay on top of it Bryan. No one wants to be that guy!
Thanks brother.
Gotta be level.. I don’t need the safety chains to have to do their job from the trailer popping off the ball.. or have the tail of the trailer dragging on anything or leaving gouges in the road. 😅
I had some slight reservations about the triple ball deally.. however with the weight I pull, I was told I don’t have much to worry about.. aside from normal safety concerns and the possibility of a manufacturer defect.
If I measured correctly it should sit right about where a stock ranger with a four inch drop hitch would sit.(before weight is applied)

It's the reason I first joined this forum, and after a LOT of consideration (and a bunch of miscellaneous things that took priority in the budget), I finally pulled the trigger and got this delivered today.

Or, at least, part of it did. Apparently it's two pieces, and both got delivered to my local sorting facility early this morning, but only one made it onto a delivery truck today.

Fall temperatures are here. You’re certainly welcome to pop by and get this installed in comfort. I’ll set the thermostat in the garage to 72°F.

Thanks, Duke. I'm hoping that Part 2 gets delivered by this weekend, so that we can get it installed when I'm over.

Mine's not as long as yours ... but I do have three balls.

And I love it, yank with it all the time, and been happy for 3 years with it.
