THE KIT
Each Stinger is supplied with the hitch itself , along with a lockable hitch pin and a 50mm towball . It comes standard with a three-year warranty .
The ADR-compliant hitch is designed to accept a towball mass of 350kg , so it is well-suited to modern Australian caravans and 4WDs .
A small but relevant benefit to caravanners : because the Stinger is lighter than a typical steel hitch , there ’ s a couple of kilos saved that could theoretically go towards payload in the vehicle .
The weight of each Stinger is as follows :
• 50mm hitch : 1.3kg
• 100mm hitch : 1.9kg
• 150mm hitch : 2.3kg
The 100mm Stinger in use . It ' ll never rust and will never need to be painted .
I haven ’ t weighed my hefty steel drop hitch but I wouldn ’ t hesitate to put it around 5kg , so I am particularly pleased to have these hitches .
From now on , I plan to keep them in my tub of towing gear , which I take on caravan reviews . It will be so much easier to simply swap the 50mm drop hitch to the 100mm drop hitch , for example , than it would be to get the spanners out to adjust the height of the ball on my steel drop hitch .
It ’ s also worth noting that the Stinger is compatible with some offroad couplings , which typically come with a ‘ pin ’ rather than a ball .
I ’ ve been impressed by this lightweight hitch and I think you will be too . It appears to be good value for money , too . Recommended .
