Do you need adjustability? If not, a big forged drawbar from any reputable manufacturer will do the trick.

For adjustable hitches, I personally like Curt. Huge rating, and not overly bulky. Also have a "normal" pintle hook option, which is important for my needs. I hate the goofy adapters that bulletproof and gen-y use that can get lost and aren't captive. Also like that their adjustment increments are fairly small letting you dial in height very easily.

OP, I have a 5 position GEN-Y with Torsion and Tongue weight scale that I no longer need so much drop with my current truck. I absolutely love it and will be replacing it with the 3 position torsion unit. The torsion is a game changer and the unit has been bullet proof so far. It is well built and weighs a ton...literally it is over 100 lbs. As their saying goes: "I got 99 problems but my Hitch ain't one!"
PM me if you're interested in making me a fair offer as I've debated keeping it or selling.
