Its unique assembly leads to its effectiveness on the road. Once your trailer is hooked up, your tongue weight is applied, and you’re going down the road, it’s time for this hitch to shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn motion, the arms of the hitch will move up and down with the bumps in the road to decrease inertia between your truck and what you’re towing. An added benefit to the Torsion-Flex hitches is the built-in tongue weight scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncreased Cargo Protection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSince our Torsion-Flex technology moves up and down with the trailer as it goes over potholes and other road hazards, it reduces the inertia you feel between the truck and trailer while driving. This keeps your cargo from getting bumped and jostled around in transit. You can enjoy a smoother ride with the peace of mind that whatever you’re towing will arrive in one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncreased Fuel Economy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis patented technology reduces inertia by up to 90%.
