What is the difference between the "premier" and the "deluxe" models of this hitch? Is the premier worth nearly 2x the price?

From what I recall, there is a scale with check marks that shows the differences in each model on the actual Allen Sports web page. The deluxe model has a few more bells and whistles like pivoting down to allow access to the back of your vehicle

First thing you should ask is does rack release allow it to drop eonugh so you can open the rear door. The premier does not and the rear Jeep door can not be opened unless you take the entire unit off the vehicle. Would rather not travel with a couple of wrenches to remove and then replace everytime you want to open the rear cargo space. Very dissappointed.

I don't know of any difference. I still have mine and it is well made. The optional motor mount will not handle a heavy electric or an outboard of more than 3 HP. Buy the cheaper one, they're the same.

contact Maya. I received a substantial discount since I purchased the trailer and new hitch at the same time.

The bumper comes with all the brackets and hardware but without the hitch that Amazon advertise. I was very disapointed because I had to order the hitch from Smittybilt and pay $99.99 more. The hitch also comes with brackets and hardware. I also had to drill new holes to fit it in my 1977 CJ7 Golden Eagle.

The "cheaper" deluxe is not really cheaper. It's on sale. It's also a little lighter and has some extra control. Don't think you'll go wrong with it.

Absolutely. I have a 38 foot T.T. and I back it up our 200 ft back driveway after every trip. You will enjoy how this hitch performs. We have used a Reese dual cam anti-sway system and the Husky. I have found this Equalizer (when properly installed) to be the best hitch available... especially for the price. On one cross country trip we had a unit in the space next to us with the identical hitch and approached me to ask about its' performance. He had real trouble with his unit. I went over to look at the unit and found a do it yourself hook up that even I was alarmed by how screwed up he mounted it. I have had NO problems with ours and would not go to any other hitch on the market. Absolutely. I have a 38 foot T.T. and I back it up our 200 ft back driveway after every trip.

i havent but word to the wise. The first time i tried to use mine the main bolt holding the bracket to the hitch insert broke in two just as i was leaving the driveway. i contacted Reese to advise them that they were using inferior bolts and they failed to get back to me . I have since replaced all the bolts with steel ones. It does work well with my 16 ft Coleman fiberglass canoe

I have a 2" hitch and it works great. I really like this rack. It is better than I was expecting, a lot better.

The 2wd is completely different then the 4x4. If you have the 4x4 then it's a straight swap. But the 2wd you'll need the gear boxes and diffs and drive line just too many parts. It'd b cheaper to just buy a platinum from the start.

Honestly I'm not sure, but this is not a good hitch. It is very sloppy and I wish I would have just stepped up to a better quality. I bought a new truck and traded off my old hitch with the old truck. Big mistake. The hitch is constantly banging around and is actually a little scary to pull with. Will be getting different one when I can afford it.

I own th extreme 2. The main differences I could see were NO cable adjustments are needed on the extreme model, and the addition of middle pulleys on the extreme. I viewed both of these as significant upgrades, and opted for the more expensive machine. I have not been dissatisfied.

there really isn't a class rating, this hitch has a 10,000lb load rating, i believe it is the best hitch on the market, there are more expensive hitches out there, but as far as lasting the longest and the craftsmanship, i would go with a B&W over the rest. I hope this helped you

Yes. I bought the optional combo ball with 2" on one end and 2 5/16" on the other. This hitch has performed well, but does tend to flex when heavily loaded. I pull a 24' enclosed car hauler that weighs around 6k pounds loaded. Sometimes it worries me. I may go to something heavier duty.

The Pro is the 2014 version, the classic is our 2011 version. The pro is 5 pounds lighter than the original version. The seat adjusting system has improved, redesigned hitch and receiver, slightly more storage in the panniers. The seat is also fully removable on the Pro making it easier to transport and store. Functionaly they get you the same ride. I hope that helps. Feel free to call my cell 720-233-4672 I am always here to help. My name is Jeff/Geoff

Thanks for the info. I found one at Openroad Outfitters that will fit the 2011. They have some very good videos on installing a hitch and the wiring. The only reason I'm hesitant about ordering this one is it says it fits up to 2010 model softail. I checked the Kuryakyn website but they were not very clear about the models it fits. I"ll be installing my hitch this weekend and hopefully the plug and play wiring will be here on Saturday or Monday. I'm planning a trip to Myrtle Beach next week and want to take my golf clubs.

No difference. Same hitch. Mine didn't come with a cool logo sticker on the back though:) If I could travel back in time I would get one with a folding shank. My cargo carrier was side swiped by person with not so good eyesight.
