Pretty cool, looks like they reinvented the mouse trap.

 

I really like the idea, I could leave my hitch on and close my garage door with my K2.

I never leave mine in, but I love my tow and stow. Looks like the only difference with this one now is the little angle they put on the back side so the gate doesn’t slap it. Unfortunately you just know it’s not going to solve people’s issue...they are still going to forget to “stow” it and give themselves the same dent as always.

And not to mention that one has to pull two pins to "stow" it instead of one pin to remove it.

Neat idea and probably triple the price of a regular hitch.

Nice try with a slick product but pretty much fail.  I would plow a furrow with that thing all the time with light off-roading or even yard work.  Great mall crawler product.

This.  I have never understood these as it is harder to stow than to just remove the thing.

Are you guys really bitching about pulling 1 or 2 pins ? This is a great idea and will sell. I will purchase one myself. First it was the multi will hit and someone makes a nice hitch that doesn’t and now it’s a pin issue ? Lol

I like to keep mine installed for when people feel like they will get their coffee faster if they are 1" behind you in the drive thru line. Had to yell at a young kid driver last summer for that. Noticed he was too close and looking at his phone a couple times as we moved up the line, then finally BAM, ran his $1000 sh!tbox right into my hitch saving my $2500 painted bumper from damage.

Lol. now all you need is to mount a seed dispenser, then you can plant corn everywhere you go to help reduce the cost of E85.

They are heavy as all hell, so even with pulling two pins to flip it forward, it’s way easier to stow it than remove it. Of course this is mainly applicable if you tow often enough to leave it in in the first place. I usually don’t. I bought it because I like the easy and quick height adjustment, quick ball size swap, and just the quality of it.
 

My point is that this probably isn’t going to solve the root problem. The same people who forget to remove their ball mount will instead just forget to flip it forward...end result is the same.

I'm not bitching at all. I'm laughing.

Because the people who complained about the "design flaw" of the multi-pro will still forget to "stow" the hitch.

The problem THEY were bitching about is not solved.

correct me if im wrong but I feel like once theres some weight on that step it will hit the hitch anyways? like when someone steps up and it flex's or when a heavier person is climbing down and slam their weight down on the step? neat idea though

Highly doubt it. BW hitches surely knew that risk and tested it before launching their product. They have been around a while and make good products. 
 

I own a multipro gate and see zero reason besides the height adjustment. Just remove the damn thing.

Obviously remove it but they're advertising something that you don't need to remove so why should you? Was just curious if it would hit when stepped on it seems awfully close. I guess they must have test it to the max tailgate weight rating?
