GEN-Y Hitch
GEN-Y Hitch manufactures precision-engineered adjustable towing hitches designed for serious towers who need versatility across multiple trailer configurations without swapping hardware or purchasing multiple ball mounts. Built from forged and machined aluminum with chrome-moly steel shank inserts, GEN-Y products offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios that translate to higher tongue weight ratings than comparable steel hitches at a fraction of the weight penalty.
