Gen-Y Automotive Hitches & Bed Accessories

There are various types of hitches on the market, and all of them are classified in accordance with the Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) capacity and some other parameters. Their applications greatly vary, and in some specific cases, people are forced to invent something new to cope with existing tasks. That's how the story of GEN-Y Hitch started. Involved in the tree care business, the future founder of this company had to make special arrangements to get a highly adjustable and strong hitch mechanism necessary to pull various trailers. Finally, he decided to develop his own solution, patented it, and started new business.

And truth be told, this business has turned out to be very successful. Today, this company from Northern Indiana offers a large assortment of drop, gooseneck, 5th wheel, and other kinds of highly reliable and versatile hitches. Meanwhile, one of the company's solutions certainly deserves closer attention: Torsion-Flex technology. Essentially, it's a compact torsion mechanism that provides some flexibility to the assembly so that only a small part of trailer inertia transfers to the towing vehicle. Such a setup acts as a cushion absorbing shocks when the trailer sways and bounces.

Finally, you get numerous benefits: improved ride quality, greater safety, better control over your vehicle, smoother braking and maneuvering, and even enhanced fuel economy. Metal fatigue is also reduced if compared to traditional hard connection. Most of available GEN-Y hitches are already equipped with such an amazing and durable mechanism. Besides, the company offers the Mega-Duty series of adjustable drop hitches whose towing capacity varies from 10,000 to 32,000 lb. Their drop/raise range is also large enough, and you can use such hitches on a lifted vehicle. However, if the drop length is more than 12”, the company recommends installing a GEN-Y stabilizer kit that will reduce the stress on the receiver. All of these and many other products by the brand are proudly made in the United States and available in our store!
