 Has anyone used  a Quick Coupler by Trailer Gear? Do you think they are worth the $300. +/-(with freight)

I've had one for a little over a year and really like it. In my opinion, yes....it is worth it.

Other than the price, which is really a small percentage of $30K trailer, why do you think they aren't used more. I think that is the first mod I make when I finally go to GN from BP.

You still have to get in the truck bed to hook up or unhook your chains.  Opening and closing the coupler is pretty easy once you are there.

I thought of the same thing, about the chains.

Believe it or not, I can attach the safety chains without getting up in the bed of the truck - F250 not 4X4. Not particularly pretty, but can do it. Even if I couldn't do that ,I really think the larger "target area" would be helpful. If the hitch drops on the ball, there is no question that it is latched. And can't these hitches be padlocked without any other accessories.
