Treg or Hyland hitch

Can only say that Treg is very robust, highly functional and reliable long term - the most widely used in articulated hitches it seems - never heard a bad or even cautionary word about them. Had a Trigg once - that seemed very good too.
Others may comment on Hyland.

We got a Treg and find it very good.Some say they are hard to hook up on uneven ground but so far its been as easy as a normal coupling.

G'Day,

If like me you have more than one trailer which needs to be moved regularly, anything to make the process easier and quicker is much appreciated.

In my case the hyland would be the only answer. The others may perform better in extreme situations however the need to swap couplings on the tow bar is a major P.I.T.A

I leave the same towball / coupling on for all my trailers

Hope this helps

Another thing to think of, Tregs are harder to steal... Hylands use a normal towball.

YMMV

Hi guys ,thanks for the replys,we only have the one trailer to tow which will be the CT,however later on we may buy a small tinnie as well.The CT comes standard with the Treg,so suppose we'll go with that one.Cheers and many thanks for the input.

Only negative with the Treg is if the pin bends. Hacksaw and a spare pin and you are prepared for that.

We have the TREG on our Coromal. It is a pain in the A when trying to hook up on any sort of slope. If you can't wriggle the trailer to get the holes to line up it is very frustrating. A good squirt of WD40 helps but makes it a messy business. The Coromal weighs in at over 1200KG loaded so it is a bit tricky to manouever. A lighter CT would be less of a problem.

The problem with my Nissan is that when the handbrake is applied on a slope it always moves a bit when you take your foot off the brake. So your best effort at reversing is always going to be wrong. It then becomes a trade off involving releasing the brake on the trailer and positioning the vehicle. My wife does a great job with hand signals for guidance, but it can be frustrating. Invariably I have to get out of the vehicle and haul on the A-frame so she can drop the pin in. It is much easier on level ground. Our most difficult moments have been in caravan parks where there is a shallow gutter that just happens to coincide with the rear wheels of the Nissan, creating a potential for movement.

Once hitched of course, it is great. The trailer just sits there and tracks true come hell or high water. Creek crossings are made with confidence. The articulation is great. No rattles or clunks when on the move; it is very solid.

I have seen the other type of Off Road ball, presumably the Hyland and I must say that it does not look to be as strong as the TREG.
